The volume of an ice cream cone is 500cm^3. The height of the cone is 16cm. What is the approximate diameter of the base of the cone?
Volume = πr²h/3
Here, V = 500
h = 16
Substitute their values,
500 = r² 22/7 16/3
500 = r² 352/21
r² = 50021 / 353
r² = 10500 / 353
r² = 29.74
r = √29.74
r = 5.45
Now, diameter = 2 radius = 2 5.45 = 10.90 cm
So, Your Final Answer would be 10.90 cm
Hope this helps!
