To find the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone, we need to find the volume of the cone and add it to the volume of the hemisphere.
The volume of a cone is given by the formula V_cone = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Since the diameter of the ice cream cone is equal to its height, we can write the radius as r = h/2.
Substituting this into the formula for the volume of the cone, we get V_cone = (1/3) * π * (h/2)^2 * h = (1/12) * π * h^3.
The volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula V_hemisphere = (2/3) * π * r^3, where r is the radius.
Since the diameter of the hemisphere is equal to the diameter of the ice cream cone, we can write the radius as r = h/2.
Substituting this into the formula for the volume of the hemisphere, we get V_hemisphere = (2/3) * π * (h/2)^3 = (1/6) * π * h^3.
Adding the volume of the cone and the volume of the hemisphere, we get the total volume of ice cream as:
V_total = (1/12) * π * h^3 + (1/6) * π * h^3 = (1/12 + 1/6) * π * h^3 = (3/12 + 2/12) * π * h^3 = (5/12) * π * h^3.
Since the volume of the hemisphere is given as 4 in^3, we can set the total volume equal to 4 and solve for h:
(5/12) * π * h^3 = 4.
Dividing both sides of the equation by (5/12) * π, we get:
h^3 = (12/5) * 4 / π = 48 / (5 * π).
Taking the cube root of both sides of the equation, we get:
h = ∛(48 / (5 * π)).
So the height of the ice cream cone is ∛(48 / (5 * π)).
To find the total volume of ice cream, we can substitute this value of h into the equation for V_total:
V_total = (5/12) * π * (∛(48 / (5 * π)))^3.
Evaluating this expression will give us the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone.

In few sentences
The total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone can be found by taking the volume of the cone and adding it to the volume of the hemisphere. The cone has a volume of (1/12) * π * h^3 and the hemisphere has a volume of (1/6) * π * h^3. By summing these two volumes, we can find the total volume of ice cream.
