Use the image to answer the question.

A hemisphere is placed on top of an inverted cone. The back of the circumference, the radius, and the perpendicular height of the cone are marked with dashed lines. The radius and the height make a right angle and are perpendicular.

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. Show your work and explain your reasoning.

To find the total volume of ice cream (both in the cone and on top of the cone), we need to calculate the volume of the cone and add the volume of the hemisphere.

Step 1: Understanding the Given Information

  • The volume of the hemisphere is given as \(4 , \text{in}^3\).
  • The cone's diameter is equal to its height. Denote the radius of the cone as \(r\) and the height as \(h\). Hence, \(h = 2r\) (since diameter = 2 × radius).

Step 2: Volume of the Hemisphere

The formula for the volume \(V\) of a hemisphere is: \[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \] Setting this equal to the given volume of the hemisphere: \[ \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = 4 \] To solve for \(r^3\): \[ r^3 = \frac{4 \times 3}{2 \pi} = \frac{12}{2\pi} = \frac{6}{\pi} \]

Step 3: Calculating the Volume of the Cone

The formula for the volume \(V\) of a cone is: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \] Substituting \(h = 2r\) into the formula gives: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \] Now substituting \(r^3\) from earlier: \[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi \left(\frac{6}{\pi}\right) = \frac{2 \cdot 6}{3} = 4 \]

Step 4: Total Volume Calculation

Now, we can find the total volume of ice cream: \[ \text{Total Volume} = \text{Volume of Cone} + \text{Volume of Hemisphere} = 4 , \text{in}^3 + 4 , \text{in}^3 = 8 , \text{in}^3 \]

Conclusion

The total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is \(\boxed{8} , \text{in}^3\).
