Question

A waffle cone holds thst holds ice cream is 15 cm high and has a diameter of 10 cm. What volume of ice cream can it hold if it is filled to the top? please help and show work

Answer 1

If the diameter of the cone is 10, its radius is half that, or 5, thus

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ -----\\ r=5\\ h=15 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (5)^2(15)}{3}$
