We have been given that the circular opening of an ice cream cone has a diameter of 7 centimeters. The height of the cone is 10 centimeters. We are asked to find the volume of the ice-cream cone.

We will use volume of cone formula to solve our given problem.


V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2 h, where

r = Radius of cone,

h = Height of cone.

We know that diameter is two times the radius, so radius will be half of diameter that is
r=(7)/(2).


V=(1)/(3)\pi\cdot ((7)/(2))^2\cdot 10


V=(1)/(3)\pi\cdot ((49)/(4))\cdot 10


V=128.2817


V\approx 128.3

Therefore, the volume of the cone would be approximately 128.3 cubic cm.
