Question

Suppose you filled the ice-cream cone shown with your favorite ice-cream. Which measurement BEST describes the

amount of ice-cream in the cone? (round to the nearest tenth)

Answer 1

6.3 in ^3

Explanation:

Trust me ;)

Answer 2

Amount of ice-cream in the cone = 6.3 in³

Solution:

Given data:

Diameter of the cone = 2 in

Radius of the cone = 2 ÷ 2 = 1 in

Height of the cone = 6 in

The value of π = 3.14

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

`$=(1)/(3)* 3.14* 1^2* 6`

= 6.3

Volume of the cone = 6.3 in³

Amount of ice-cream in the cone = 6.3 in³
