The volume of the ice cream cone in the diagram is 12 cubic centimeters. 9 centimeters is the height of the ice cream cone, what is the diameter of the opening of the cone?

Answer:
2.2568m
Step-by-step explanation:
volume= 12 π cm³
or, 1/3 πr²h = 12π cm³
or, πr² × 9 = 12π ×3
or, r²= 36π/9π
or, r²= 4
or, r= 2
d = 2r = 2× 2= 4 cm
The diameter of the opening of the cone is equal to 4 centimeters.
Given the following data:
To determine the diameter of the opening of the cone:
Mathematically, the volume of a cone is given by this formula:
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex]
Where:
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]12 \pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 \times 9\\\\12 =3r^2\\\\r^2=4\\\\r=\sqrt{4}[/tex]
r = 2 centimeters.
For the diameter:
[tex]Diameter = 2r\\\\Diameter = 2 \times 2[/tex]
Diameter = 4 centimeters.
