What’s the volume of this cone?

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? Write your answer in terms of π. Round to the nearest hundredth. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Diameter of the CONE = 2.38 inches

Radius of the CONE = 2.38/2 = 1.19 inches

Height of the CONE = 6 inches

Volume of a cone equals one-third of pi times the radius squared times the height.

Volume of a CONE = (1/3) (PI) (R^2) (H)

= (1/3)(PI) (1.19) (1.19) (6)

= (1/3)(6)(PI)(1.4161)

= (2)(1.4161)(PI)

= (2.8322)(PI)

= (2.83)(PI) cubic inches rounded to the nearest 1/100
