    Maximizing Ice Cream Cone Volume: Solving the 30° Cone Problem

    r for cone i believe is .2679 and I'm not sure how to solve for r of sphere to achieve a maximum volume inside the cone... i did calculate one theory that i had and found radius to be .230 any thoughts?

    Maximizing Ice Cream Cone Volume: Solving the 30° Cone Problem

    EXACT PROBLEM: you place a sphere of ice cream into a cone of hieght 1 1. what radius of the sphere will give you the most volum of ice cream inside the cone (as opposed to above the cone) for a cone of base 30 degrees? 2. what is that volume inside the cone and what percentage is inside the...

    Maximizing Ice Cream Cone Volume: Solving the 30° Cone Problem

    for the cone i believe the imaginary R = .2679 for circular plane at top, but the R for sphere is a variable still...

    Maximizing Ice Cream Cone Volume: Solving the 30° Cone Problem

    true, but it must fit inside the cone! this is the problem I'm having. i need the volume INSIDE the cone of the one scoop of icecream... otherwise, yes, i would have an easy answer of infinite units cubed.

    Logarithms - where does the coefficients come from

    rewrite the second one so that it is - log (base5) 3 taking the square root of 9 do the same for 2^3 so that it is now 8 log (B5) 8 - log (B5) 3

    Maximizing Ice Cream Cone Volume: Solving the 30° Cone Problem

    :confused: PROBLEM: A cone with a 30degree angle and a hieght of 1 must fit a sphere of icecream in it with a maximum volume. what is that volume, and what percentage of the sphere is in that cone!? PLEASE HELP!? this is all i have R= (h-a)(sin15) a=distance between center of sphere...
