Question

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?

Answer 1

28322 pi or 88976.19(rounded to the hundredth)

Explanation:

the volume of a cone is 1/3*pi*r^2*h

so you plug in the numbers:

since the diameter is 238 the radius is 238/2 which is 119

so you do 1/3*pi*119^2*6

Answer 2

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the formula:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

where r is the radius of the circular base of the cone, h is the height of the cone, and π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

In this case, the diameter of the cone is given as 238 inches, which means the radius is half of that:

r = 238/2 = 119 inches

The height of the cone is given as 6 inches. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

V = (1/3)π(119^2)(6)

V ≈ 319,292 cubic inches

Therefore, the waffle cone holds approximately 319,292 cubic inches of ice cream when filled level to the top of the cone.
