A snow cone is a tasty treat with flavored ice and a spherical bubble gum ball at the bottom. The radius of the cone is 1.25 inches, and its height is 2.75 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches, what is the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice?

4.43 in^3

0.07 in^3

13.50 in^3

@satellite73 ?

mertsj · Answer

Volume of the cone -volume of the bubble gum
$$\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h-\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$

mertsj · Answer

$$\frac{1}{3}(\pi)(1.25)^2(2.75)-\frac{4}{3}\pi (.25)^3$$

mertsj · Answer

I'll leave the arithmetic to you

anonymous · Answer

I have no idea how to solve that...

mertsj · Answer

So you don't know how to square a number or you don't know how to multiply or what?

anonymous · Answer

I just don't know how to put that in a calculator and solve it.
