Question

4. Your best friend's birthday is tomorrow, and you would like to give her an ice cream cone

balloon. The spherical shaped ice cream on top of the cone has a radius of 6 inches. The cone
itself has a diameter of 12 inches and height of 24 inches. How many cubic inches of helium are
nded to fill the entire ice cream cone balloon? Use 3.14 for it.

Answer 1

1808.64 IN^3

Explanation:

Helium needed = volume of spherical shaped ice cream + volume of cone

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3

4/3 x 3.14 x 6^3 = 904.32 ft^3

Volume of a cone 1/3 x (nr^2h)

n = 22/7

r = radius = 12/2 = 6

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

h = height

1/3 x 3.14 x 6^2 x 24 = 904.32

helium needed = 2 x 904.32 = 1808.64 in^3
