The diameter of the cone is 2 inches, and the top of the ice cream has the shape of a hemisphere. Find the height h of the cone. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #722522 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! No picture available, but assume total volume includes the hemisphere. \n" ); document.write( "V= V cone + V hemisphere \n" ); document.write( "12 in^3= (1/3)pi*r^2h+(4/3)(1/2)pi*r^3, r=1, since d=2 \n" ); document.write( "12=(1/3)pi*h+(2/3)pi \n" ); document.write( "move (2/3) pi to left and divide both sides by (1/3) pi. \n" ); document.write( "h=9.46 cm.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check grossly--(1/3)pi*r^2*h is about 9.5, a little more since (1/3)pi>1 \n" ); document.write( "V sphere is (4/3)*pir^3=about 4, and half of that is about 2, or a little more \n" ); document.write( "That is 11.5 cm^3, in the range of 12. \n" ); document.write( " |
