An empty cone of radius 3 cm and height 12 cm ice cream is filled in it so that the lower part of the cone which is 16th of the volume of the cone is unfilled but the hemisphere is formed on the top find the volume of ice cream

Final answer:

To calculate the total volume of ice cream, you find the volume of the cone, subtract 1/16th of it for the unfilled part, and then add the volume of the hemisphere. The final answer is the combined volume of the filled part of the cone and the hemisphere on top.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the ice cream in the cone, we need to calculate the volume of the cone, subtract the unfilled portion, and add the volume of the hemisphere on top. The formula for the volume of a cone is ⅓πr2h where r is the radius and h is the height. Using the given radius of 3 cm and height of 12 cm, the volume of the cone is:

Volume of cone = ⅓π(32)(12) = ⅓π(9)(12) = 36π cm3

We subtract 1/16th of this volume for the unfilled portion:

Unfilled volume = ⅓π(32)(12) ÷ 16 = ⅓π cm3

Next, we calculate the volume of the hemisphere (half of a sphere) using the formula ⅓πr3, with the radius still being 3 cm:

Volume of hemisphere = ⅓π(33) = ⅓π(27) = ⅓π cm3

Now, we combine the volumes and calculate the total ice cream volume:

Total ice cream volume = Volume of cone - Unfilled volume + Volume of hemisphere

Total ice cream volume = 36π - 2π + ⅓π = (36 - 2 + ⅓)π cm3

Total ice cream volume = (34 + ⅓)π cm3
