Question

You are using cones of varying sizes to serve ice cream in the ice cream parlor where you work. One of the cones is 10 centimeters tall and has a diameter of 5 centimeters. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter, how much ice cream will completely fill the ice cream cone?

a. 26.2
b. 52.3
c. 65.4
d. 196.3
e. 261.7

Answer 1

To find the volume of the cone, use the formula V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. Plugging in the given values of height and diameter, the volume is approximately 196.3 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the cone, we can use the formula V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. In this case, the height is 10 cm and the radius is half of the diameter, which is 5/2 cm or 2.5 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = 3.142 × (2.5 cm)² × 10 cm = 196.25 cm³. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is 196.3 cm³.
