Base 6 cm

Height 16 cm
Faye ordered a case of sugar cones for her ice cream shop. One cone is shown

Which measurement is closest to the volume of the ice cream cone?

1 answer

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.

Given:
Base = 6 cm
Height = 16 cm

First, we need to find the radius of the cone. The radius is half of the base, so r = 6/2 = 3 cm.

Now, plug in the values into the formula:
V = (1/3)π(3 cm)^2(16 cm)
V = (1/3)π(9 cm^2)(16 cm)
V = (1/3)π(144 cm^3)
V ≈ 150.8 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the ice cream cone is approximately 150.8 cm^3.
