4. Your best friend's birthday is tomorrow, and you would like to give her an ice cream cone

balloon. The spherical shaped ice cream on top of the cone has a radius of 6 inches. The cone
itself has a diameter of 12 inches and height of 24 inches. How many cubic inches of helium are
nded to fill the entire ice cream cone balloon? Use 3.14 for it.

Answer:

1808.64 IN^3

Explanation:

Helium needed = volume of spherical shaped ice cream + volume of cone

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3

4/3 x 3.14 x 6^3 = 904.32 ft^3

Volume of a cone 1/3 x (nr^2h)

n = 22/7

r = radius = 12/2 = 6

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

h = height

1/3 x 3.14 x 6^2 x 24 = 904.32

helium needed = 2 x 904.32 = 1808.64 in^3
