Answer 1

Approximate volume of ice cream = 3.03 inches

Explanation:

Given - An empty ice cream cone has a height of 3.02 inches and a radius

of 0.98 inches.

To find - What is the approximate volume of ice cream it will hold within the cone ?

Proof -

We know that,

Volume of the cone =
`(1)/(3)\pi r^(2)h`

where

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

Here,

Given that,

r = 0.98 inches

h = 3.02 inches

So,

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

=
`(1)/(3)(3.14) (0.98)^(2)(3.02)` ( Consider the value of
`\pi` = 3.14)

= 3.0373

∴ we get

Approximate volume of ice cream = 3.03 inches

So,

The correct option is - G. 3 in 3
