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 π .(1 point) Responses 37.68 cubic centimeters 37.68 cubic centimeters 18.84 cubic centimeters 18.84 cubic centimeters 6.28 cubic centimeters 6.28 cubic centimeters 12.56 cubic centimeters 12.56 cubic centimeters

To find the volume of the chocolate cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height.

Given the diameter of the cone is 2 cm, the radius \( r \) would be half of that:

\[ r = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \text{ cm} \]

The height \( h \) is given as 6 cm. Now we can substitute the values into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1^2) \times 6 \]

Calculating \( (1^2) \):

\[ (1^2) = 1 \]

Now substituting back into the equation:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 \times 6 \] \[ = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6 \] \[ = \frac{3.14 \times 6}{3} \] \[ = \frac{18.84}{3} \] \[ = 18.84 \]

Thus, the volume of chocolate needed to make the solid chocolate cone is 18.84 cubic centimeters.
