Part 1
Find the volume specified. Use 3.14 as the approximate value of pi​, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Find the volume of an ice cream cone​ (right circular​ cone) of radius 7 cm and height  8 cm topped by a perfect hemisphere of ice cream of the same radius.

1 answer

To find the total volume of the ice cream cone topped by a hemisphere, we will calculate the volume of each part separately and then sum them.

Volume of the Cone

The volume \( V \) of a right circular cone is given by the formula:

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

Where:

  • \( r \) is the radius
  • \( h \) is the height

Given:

  • \( r = 7 \) cm
  • \( h = 8 \) cm

Substituting the values:

\[ V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (7)^2 \times (8) \]

Calculating:

  1. Calculate \( (7)^2 = 49 \)
  2. Then:

\[ V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 49 \times 8 \]

  1. Calculate \( 49 \times 8 = 392 \)

  2. So now:

\[ V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 392 \]

  1. Calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \times 392 \approx 130.67 \)

  2. Finally, calculate:

\[ V_{cone} \approx 130.67 \times 3.14 \approx 409.12 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Volume of the Hemisphere

The volume \( V \) of a hemisphere is given by the formula:

\[ V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]

Using the same radius \( r = 7 \) cm, we find:

\[ V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times (7)^3 \]

Calculating \( (7)^3 = 343 \):

\[ V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 343 \]

Calculating step by step:

  1. Compute \( \frac{2}{3} \times 343 \approx 228.67 \)

  2. Now calculate:

\[ V_{hemisphere} \approx 228.67 \times 3.14 \approx 718.8 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Total Volume

Now, we sum the volumes of the cone and the hemisphere:

\[ V_{total} = V_{cone} + V_{hemisphere} \approx 409.12 + 718.8 = 1127.92 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Rounding

Rounding \( V_{total} \) to the nearest tenth gives:

\[ \text{Total Volume} \approx 1127.9 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the total volume of the ice cream cone topped by a hemisphere of ice cream is approximately 1127.9 cm³.
