<PRE><B>Question 279604</B>
At an ice cream parlor you order a double scoop of ice cream.  The server first stuffs the cone, which is 14.3 cm. high and 8.4 cm across, full of ice cream.  She then tops the cone with a nicely rounded half-scoop.  On top of this she puts the second scoop.  To the nearest cubic centimeter, how much ice cream did you receive?

the volume of the cone is given by the formula 1/3* pi*r^2*h

v= 1/3 *3.14*4.2^2*14.3
264cu. cm.

volume of a sphere is given by 4/3 * pi*r^3

= 4/3*3.14*(4.2)^3  ( since two halves are put , it amounts to putting 1 complete ball / sphere)

= 310 cu. cm

Total icecream = 264cu.cms in cone + 310 cu. cms on top= 574 cu. cms
