the formula for the volume of a cone is
v=1/3 b h = 1/3pi r^2 h clear as mud?
ok, lets do this, its imagine the cone is instead a cylinder, do pi r^2 times height, that will give you the cylinder volume, to get the cone, just divide by 3
ok, soooo
3.14 x 9 x 8 = 226.08 cu/cm now, divide by 3 and we get = 75.36 cu/cm
so, the volume of the ice cream cone is 75.36 cu/cm
