A) A cone shaped paper cup used for snow cones has a diameter of 40 millimeters and a height of

30 millimeters. What is the volume of the snow cone cup?
B) What would be the volume of a cylindrical shape cup with the same dimensions of the cone.

volume of the cylinder with given data = π r^2 h = π(20)^2 (30) mm^3 = ......

volume of a cone with the same data = (1/3) of that

Did you know?

Did you know that the volume of a cone-shaped paper cup used for snow cones can be calculated using the formula V = (πr^2h)/3, where r is the radius and h is the height? Using a diameter of 40 millimeters (which gives a radius of 20 millimeters) and a height of 30 millimeters, we can plug these values into the formula and find that the volume of the snow cone cup is approximately 25,132.7 cubic millimeters. Furthermore, did you know that if we were to consider a cylindrical shape cup with the same dimensions as the cone, its volume could be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is still 20 millimeters and h is still 30 millimeters? By substituting these values into the formula, we find that the volume of the cylindrical cup is approximately 37,699.1 cubic millimeters, which is significantly larger than the cone-shaped cup.
