I’m not quite sure I understand the setup. Could you clarify one thing: do you mean a cube that is 4 inches on a side (a "4‑in. cube"), or do you mean 4 cubic inches (4 in^3) of ice cream?

Also, what exactly is the shape? By “diameter of the ice cream equal to its height” do you mean the diameter of a spherical scoop equals the height of the container (or cone)? Or something else?

Possible interpretations I can solve quickly if one of these is what you meant:
- If you meant a cube 4 in on a side and you want the sphere whose diameter equals the cube’s height (i.e. diameter = 4 in), then radius = 2 in and the sphere volume is (4/3)π(2^3) = 32π/3 ≈ 33.51 in^3.
- If you meant 4 in^3 of ice cream being arranged as a cone plus a hemispherical scoop with the scoop’s diameter equal to the cone height, I can set up and maximize the combined volume under that constraint — tell me if that’s the intended problem.

Tell me which interpretation (or give the exact statement) and I’ll solve it.
