Question

The ice cream parlor serves spherical scoops of ice cream with a radius of 1 in. What is the approximate volume of 2 scoops of ice cream? (Use 3.14 as an approximation of pi.)

Answer 1

Answer: 8.37 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Shape of icre cream scoop = sphere

Radius (r) = 1 inch

Volume of a scoop of icecream = volume of sphere :

4/3πr³

(4/3) × 3.14 × 1³

1.333 × 3.14 × 1

= 4.1867 in³

Hence, the volume of 2 scoops of ice cream will be :

2 × ( volume of a scoop of ice cream)

(2 × 4.1867) in³

= 8.37 in³
