Answer:
I will prefer the cone having volume 21.21 cubic inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
A cup of ice cream holds ice cream = 21.21 cubic inches
Since volume of a cone = Capacity of the cone to hold the ice cream
Volume of an another cone having radius (r) = 1.5 inches and height (h) = 3 inches will be,
V = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(\pi)(r^{2} )(h)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{3}(\pi )(1.5)^{2}(3)[/tex]
= 7.069
≈ 7.07 cubic inches
Since the volume of the second cone is less than the first cone, I will prefer the first cone with volume = 21.21 inches³
