To solve this problem, we can use the relationship between the formulas for the volume of a cone and the volume of a sphere.
The formula for the volume of a cone is given by: V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is given by: V = (4/3) * π * r^3, where V is the volume and r is the radius.
We are given that the height (h) of the cone is equal to the diameter of the cone. This means that the radius (r) is half of the height.
Let's say the height and radius of the cone are both equal to x. This means the radius of the hemisphere of ice cream on top of the cone is also x.
The volume of the cone is then given by: V_cone = (1/3) * π * x^2 * x = (1/3) * π * x^3.
The volume of the hemisphere of ice cream is given by: V_hemisphere = (4/3) * π * x^3.
The total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is the sum of the volume of the cone and the volume of the hemisphere: V_total = V_cone + V_hemisphere.
Substituting the formulas for V_cone and V_hemisphere, we get: V_total = (1/3) * π * x^3 + (4/3) * π * x^3 = (1/3 + 4/3) * π * x^3 = (5/3) * π * x^3.
We are given that the volume of the hemisphere is 4 in^3. So, we can equate this to the formula for V_hemisphere and solve for x.
4 = (4/3) * π * x^3
Dividing both sides of the equation by (4/3) * π, we get:
(4/((4/3) * π)) = x^3
Simplifying, we get:
3/(4π/3) = x^3
Multiplying both sides of the equation by (4π/3), we get:
x^3 = 3 * (4π/3)
x^3 = 4π
Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:
x = (4π)^(1/3)
Now that we have the value of x, we can substitute it into the formula for V_total:
V_total = (5/3) * π * x^3
V_total = (5/3) * π * (4π)^(1/3)^3
V_total = (5/3) * π * (4π)
V_total = (20/3) * π * π
So the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is (20/3) * π^2 in^3.
