omg.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

A waffle cone has a height of 7 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. What is the volume of ice cream that can be contained within the cone? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 15.43 cubic inches 16.49 cubic inches 17.86 cubic inches 18.89 cubic inches

OpenStudy (anitas.):

what do you think the correct answer is?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@rebeccaxhawaii b?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

Please don't guess. I don't see how guessing letters is really helping you.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

sorry i just need help.. please help me :)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

If you would like i will take you through the steps.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

Okay well. We are looking for volume. The volume formula for a cone is \[\pi r^2\frac{ h }{ 3 }\]

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

We know that h=7 Now we need to find the radius. Keep in mind that the diameter is double to radius.|dw:1463007121873:dw|

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

Therefore your radius would be 3/2

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

@volleyballlover55 I am very low on time. Please respond.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@rebeccaxhawaii sorry ok..

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

Plug those into the formula i gave you.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok...
