Question

Judy has a sugar cone and wants to know how many cubic inches of ice cream it will hold if it is filled completely to the top of the cone and no more. the cone has a height of 4.5 inches and a radius of 1.5 inches

Answer 1

To find the amount of ice cream you will use the formula for finding volume of a cone.

V = 1/3x pi x r^2 x h
1/3 x 3.14 x 1.5^2 x 4.5
V = 10.6 cubic inches

The volume of ice cream that the cone can hold is approximately 10.6 in.³.
