Question

Aimee packs ice cream into an ice cream cone. She then puts a perfect hemisphere of ice cream on top of the cone that has a volume of 4 in.3 The diameter of the ice cream cone is equal to its height. What is the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone? Use the relationship between the formulas for the volumes of cones and spheres to help solve this problem.

The volume of a cone is given by the formula Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
The volume of a sphere is given by the formula Vsphere = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.

In this case, the diameter of the ice cream cone is equal to its height, so we can let the radius of the base of the cone be r.

The volume of the ice cream in the cone is Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h.

The volume of the hemisphere of ice cream on top of the cone is half the volume of a sphere with radius r, so Vhemisphere = (1/2)(4/3)πr^3 = (2/3)πr^3.

The total volume of the ice cream in and on top of the cone is therefore Vtotal = Vcone + Vhemisphere = (1/3)πr^2h + (2/3)πr^3.

Since the volume of the hemisphere is given as 4 in.3, we have (2/3)πr^3 = 4.
Simplifying, we have (2/3)(3.14)(r^3) = 4.
This gives us (2π/3)r^3 = 4.
Dividing by (2π/3), we get r^3 = (4 * 3)/(2π).
Simplifying, we have r^3 = 6/π.
Taking the cube root of both sides, we get r ≈ 1.288.

Since the diameter of the cone is the same as its height, we have r = h ≈ 1.288.

Substituting the values for r and h into the formula for Vtotal, we get
Vtotal ≈ (1/3)(3.14)(1.288^2)(1.288) + (2/3)(3.14)(1.288^3).
Vtotal ≈ 6.042 in.3.

Therefore, the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is approximately 6.042 in.3.
