Question

Elise fills a waffle cone with ice cream exactly level to the top of the cone. If the cone has a diameter of 2 3/8 inches and a height of 6 inches, how much ice cream does the waffle cone hold? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.86 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone of radius r and height h is

V = (1/3)πr^2h.

Here, the volume is V = (1/3)π(1 3/16)^2*6 in^3, or

V = 2π(19/16)^2 = 8.86 in^3
