Elise fills a waffle cone with ice cream exactly level to the top of the cone. If the cone has a diameter of 238 inches and a height of 6 inches, how much ice cream does the waffle cone hold? Write your answer in terms of π. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:88,976.18 in³

Explanation:

the formula for the volume of a cone is 1/3(πr²)(h)

first, divide the diameter by two to get the radius(119 in.)

then plug the radius and height into the equation: 1/3(π·119²)(6)

the volume is about 88,976.18 square inches

if you have more volume of a cone questions, google cone calculator

Answer:

ok so the volume of a cone is determined by π*r^2*h/3

so i have the diameter and i need the radius which is half the diameter so the diameter is 238 inches

238/2=119

6 is my height

so 3.14*119^2*6/3

which equals............84546.54 inches^3 of ice cream
