We would find the volume of the ice cream contained in the cone by applying the formula for determining the voume of a cone which is expressed as

Volume = 1/3 x pi x radius^2 x height

From the information given,

height = 10

radius = 4

pi is a constant whose value is 3.142

Thus,

Volume = 1/3 x 3.142 x 4^2 x 10

Volume = 167.57

rounding to the nearest whole number,

Volume = 168 cubic cm
