Suppose the ice cream on top of a cone makes a perfectly spherical shape. If the diameter of the ice cream scoop was 6 inches, what will happen to the volume of the ice cream when the ice cream scoop is decreased to a diameter of 3 inches? What will the original and new volume of the ice cream be?

Question

anonymous · Answer

the cone does not change the ice cream does.

anonymous · Answer

not at all....

ok one sec let me explain.

anonymous · Answer

Volume = Length * width * height
v= l*w*h
v=6*6*3
they are all the same around the whole shape , think of it as a circle

next is the new volume which is taking half of the original off, we are decreasing the circle
 
Volume = Length * width * height
v=l*w*h
v=3*3*1.5
 Diameter is the outside of the circle with the dimensions of 6

so does that make 6 the answer?

& how do I see what you said earlier? Its not showing anymore

anonymous · Answer

I dont know what happened  but no its multiplication then subtraction 
3x3x1.5-6
