Question

Marcos sells snow cones in the summer. He uses a cone with a radius of 1.5 inches and a height of 5 inches. If he fills the snow cone to the rim with ice before pouring on the syrup. About how much ice will it take to fill the cone?​

Answer 1

Answer:
`11.78\ in.^3`

Explanation:

Given

Radius of cone
`r=1.5\ in.`

Height of cone
`h=5\ in.`

Ice required to fill the cone=Volume of cone

The volume of a cone is

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

Put values

`\Rightarrow V=(1)/(3)* (22)/(7)* 1.5^2* 5=11.78\ in.^3`
