A snowcone with a radius of 4 cm is sold in a cone-shaped paper cup with a height of 12 cm and an opening 6 cm wide. If all the ice melted in the cup, would it overow?

Answer :

Answer: No because when you do the volume of the cone is r=3cm h=12cm and the sphere is r=4cm

If the ice melt in the cone shaped cup, it won't overow because the volume of the cone shaped cup is greater than the volume of the snowcone ice.

The snowcone is a sphere.

Volume of a sphere

volume = 4 / 3πr³

where

  • r = radius

Therefore,

volume of the snowcone = 4 / 3 × π × 4³

volume of the snowcone = 256 π/ 3 = 85.33π

Therefore, the volume of the cone canbe found as follows:

volume of the cone shaped paper = 1 / 3 πr²h

h = 12 cm

r = 6cm

volume of the cone shaped paper = 1 / 3 × π × 6² × 12

volume of the cone shaped paper = 144π

Therefore, let find if the ice melt in the cone whether it will overow.

144π - 85.33π = 58.67π

Therefore, the volume of the cone shaped paper is greater than the volume of the snowcone ice . This means that if the ice melt in the cup , it won't overow.
