Question

An ice cream cone has a height of 16 centimeters and a diameter of 4 centimeters. What is the volume of ice cream that can be contained within the cone? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

V = π r^2 (h/3)

(Volume equals pi r squared, h over 3)

Diameter is 4, so the radius is half of that = 2

Plug in the numbers

V = π (2^2) (16/3)

V = π (4) (5.333)

V = 3.14 x 4 = 12.566

V = 12.566 x 5.333

V = 67.014

Answer 2

66.99cm^3

Explanation:

find the radius

4/2 = 2

r = 2

v = 1/3 pi r ^2 h

v = 1/3 (3.14) (2)^2 (16)

v = 1/3 (3.14) (4) (16)

v = 1/3 (200.96)

v = 1/3 (200.96) = 200.96/3 = 66.99
