Question

Marcos sells snow cones in the summer. He uses a cone with a radius of 1.5 inches and a height of 5 inches. If he fills the snow cone to the rim with ice before pouring on the syrup. About how much ice will it take to fill the cone?​

Answer 1

Answer: $11.78\ in.^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius of cone $r=1.5\ in.$

Height of cone $h=5\ in.$

Ice required to fill the cone=Volume of cone

The volume of a cone is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Put values

$\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 1.5^2\times 5=11.78\ in.^3$
