Aimee packs ice cream into an ice cream cone. She then puts a perfect hemisphere of ice cream on top of the cone that has a volume of 4 in.3 The diameter of the ice cream cone is equal to its height. What is the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone?
I got (16/3)πd³. am i correct
No, your answer is incorrect.
To solve this problem, we need to find the volume of the cone and the volume of the hemisphere separately, and then add them together.
The volume of a cone is given by the formula Vcone = (1/3)πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Since the diameter of the cone is equal to its height, we can express the radius as r = d/2 = h/2.
So the volume of the cone is Vcone = (1/3)π(h/2)²(h) = (1/12)πh³.
The volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula Vhemisphere = (2/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the hemisphere.
Since the diameter of the cone is equal to its height, the radius of the hemisphere is r = d/2 = h/2.
So the volume of the hemisphere is Vhemisphere = (2/3)π(h/2)³ = (1/6)πh³.
Therefore, the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is Vtotal = Vcone + Vhemisphere = (1/12)πh³ + (1/6)πh³ = (1/12 + 1/6)πh³ = (1/12 + 1/6)π(h³) = (3/12 + 2/12)π(h³) = (5/12)πh³.
So, the correct answer is (5/12)πh³.
