Question

An ice cream cone has a radius of 2 1/2 inches and a height of 6 inches. Find the volume of the ice cream cone in cubic inches.​

Answer 1

V = 1/3 * pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 * pi * 5/2^2 * 6

V = 1/3 * pi * 25/4 *6

V = 2 * pi *25/4

V = 25/2 pi

Answer: (12.5*pi)in^3 or 39.27 in^3

Answer 2

The volume of the ice cream cone is 39.25 cubic inches

To determine the volume of the ice cream, we have to use the formula for the volume of a cone, we have that;

V = πr²h/3

Now, substitute the values, we get;

Volume = 3.14 × (5/2)² × 6/3

find the square value, we have;

Volume = 3.14 × 25/4 × 6/3

Divide the values, we get;

Volume = 3.14 × 25/4 × 2

Multiply the values, we have;

Volume = 3.14 × 25/2

Volume = 78.5/2

Divide the values, we get;

Volume = 39.25 cubic inches
