Question

Tiana would like to buy ice cream cones for her birthday party, but she wants cones with the largest volume. Which of the following brands of ice cream cones should she buy?



A. Brand A
B. Brand B
C. Either - the cones have equal volumes

Answer 1

you dont give enough values to figure out the answer

Answer 2

do you have any numbers for each brand?

Answer 3

alrighty

Answer 4

are you aware of the formula for the volume of a cone?

Answer 5

i am not

Answer 6

the basic formula should be Volume of cone= 1/3bxh

Answer 7

so all you have to do is plug in your numbers

Answer 8

so for the first cone

Answer 9

you would put V= 1/3 times 5 times 16

Answer 10

if you're lost let me know

Answer 11

so i believe its both

Answer 12

@lilcrunch the formula for the ice cream cone is not correct

Answer 13

\[V= \frac{ \pi r^{2} h }{ 3 }\]
Therefore, plug your known radius and height for each cone to find the answer.
Lemme know if you need more hints.

Answer 14

V of ice cream A = ( pi 5^2 (16) ) /3 = 400pi/3 = 133.33 pi
V of ice cream B = ( pi 4^2 (20) ) /3 = 320 pi/3 = 106. 67 pi

As in comparison, you can figure out which one would give her more volume of ice cream :)
