Pete runs an ice cream stand that also sells snow cones served in paper cones.
The paper cones he usually uses have a diameter of 3 inches and a height of 4 inches, but his supplier is out of them.
As a replacement, he purchases paper cones with a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 3 inches. How do the volumes of the original and replacement cones compare?

Volume = (1/3)πr^2h.
Original: r = 1.5, h = 4 → V1 = (1/3)π(1.5)^2(4) = 3π.
Replacement: r = 2, h = 3 → V2 = (1/3)π(2)^2(3) = 4π.
4π > 3π, so the replacement cone holds more than the original.
