Answer: The cone can hold 18.84 cubic inches of ice cream.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to find the volume of a cone, using only the height (h) and the radius(r) values.

Volume of a cone (V) = 1/3 π r² h

Replacing with the values given:

V = 1/3 (3.14) (3)² 2

Solving:

V = 1/3 (3.14) (9) 2

V = 18.84 cubic inches

In conclusion, the cone can hold 18.84 cubic inches of ice cream.
