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 6.28 cubic centimeters 6.28 cubic centimeters 37.68 cubic centimeters 37.68 cubic centimeters 12.56 cubic centimeters 12.56 cubic centimeters 18.84 cubic centimeters

To calculate the volume of a cone, you can use the formula:

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

where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius of the base,
  • \( h \) is the height of the cone,
  • \( \pi \) is a constant (approximately 3.14).

Given:

  • Diameter of the cone = 2 cm, so the radius \( r = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \) cm.
  • Height \( h = 6 \) cm.

Plugging in the values:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1)^2 \times 6 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 \times 6 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6 \] \[ V = \frac{18.84}{3} \] \[ V = 6.28 , \text{cubic centimeters} \]

Therefore, the volume of chocolate needed to make the solid chocolate cone is \( 6.28 \) cubic centimeters.
