Question

A right cylinder ice cream cone has 600 cubic centimeters of ice cream, what is the radius of the cone of the height is 15 centimeters?

Answer 1

The formula for volume is V=Bh where  B is the area of the base. 
plug in what they have given you:
600=B(15) you can divide both sides by 15

40=B    We know that a cylinder's base is a circle so we can use the area f                           formula for a circle to solve for the radius.
40 = pi(r)^2   divide both sides by pi to get the r^2 alone
40/pi=r^2     square root both sides to get rid of the square
you should get
r=3.5 approximately
