The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h
where π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cone.
In this case, the diameter of the cone is 2 cm, so the radius (r) is half of that, or 1 cm. The height (h) is given as 6 cm.
Substituting these values into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 1^2 * 6
= (1/3) * 3.14 * 1 * 1 * 6
= (1/3) * 3.14 * 6
= (1/3) * 18.84
≈ 6.28 cm^3
Therefore, approximately 6.28 cubic centimeters of chocolate is needed to make a solid chocolate cone.
A professional baker uses a chocolate mold to make decorations for cakes. One chocolate mold is in the shape of a cone and has a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 6 cm. What volume of chocolate, in cubic centimeters, is needed to make a solid chocolate cone? Use 3.14 for pi
