Question

Would you rather have a cup of ice cream that hold last a volume of 21.21 inches or a cone that has a radius of 1.5 inches and height of 3 inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

I will prefer the cone having volume 21.21 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cup of ice cream holds ice cream = 21.21 cubic inches

Since volume of a cone = Capacity of the cone to hold the ice cream

Volume of an another cone having radius (r) = 1.5 inches and height (h) = 3 inches will be,

         V = $\frac{1}{3}(\pi)(r^{2} )(h)$

           = $\frac{1}{3}(\pi )(1.5)^{2}(3)$

           = 7.069

           ≈ 7.07 cubic inches

Since the volume of the second cone is less than the first cone, I will prefer the first cone with volume = 21.21 inches³
