A large waffle cone at yummy ice cream is 6 inches tall and has a radius of 3 inches. The small waffle cone is 3 inches high and has a radius of 1 inch.How much more ice cream will the large cone hold that the small cone?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The large cone will hold 53.41 cubic inches more of ice cream.

Explanation:

Since the problem deals with how much ice cream the cones will hold, we are to calculate volumes for the small and large cones.

[tex]\text{Volume of a cone=}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

Large Cone

Height = 6 inches

Radius = 3 inches

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times3^2\times6 \\ =18\pi\; in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Small Cone

Height = 3 inches

Radius = 1 inches

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times1^2\times3 \\ =\pi\; in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the difference in volume

[tex]\begin{gathered} =18\pi-\pi \\ =17\pi \\ =53.41\; in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The large cone will hold 53.41 cubic inches more of ice cream.
