Question

Gail works for Ice Cream To-Go. She needs to fill the new chocolate dip cones completely with vanilla ice cream, so that it is level with the top of the cone. Gail knows that the radius of the inside of the cone top is 21 millimeters and the height of the inside of the cone is 150 millimeters. Using 3.14 for , how much vanilla ice cream will one chocolate dip cone hold when filled to be level with the top of the cone?

Answer 1

V = 69,237 mm³

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone of radius r and height h is

V = (1/3)(πr²)(h). If r = 21 mm and h = 150 mm, the volume of the cone is

V = (1/3)(3.14)(21 mm)²(150 mm)

and this works out to:

V = 69,237 mm³
