Question

Hershey kisses are almost a cone shape witha height of 2.1 cm and a diameter of 3 cmHow much chocolate is in a kiss?

Answer 1

We are going to appoximate the amount of chocolate, using the volume of a cone. The volume of a cone is given by the formula:

`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2\text{ h}`

where r is the radious of the base of the cone, and h is the height of the cone. Sustituting h=2.1cm and r=3/2 cm we get:

`V=(1)/(3)\pi\text{ }(9)/(4)2.1cm^3\approx4.5cm^3`
