practice 6. round your answer to the nearest tenth upside down ice cream cone cone length is 17mm width is 8mm


It sounds like you’re referring to a geometric problem involving the volume of an upside-down ice cream cone (which is a cone shape). To solve for the volume and round the answer to the nearest tenth, we'll need the following dimensions:

- **Length of the cone (height)** = 17 mm
- **Width of the cone (diameter of the base)** = 8 mm

First, we calculate the radius \( r \) from the diameter:
\[
r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \, \text{mm}
\]

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cone is:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius (4 mm),
- \( h \) is the height (17 mm),
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.1416.

Let’s calculate the volume and round to the nearest tenth.

I'll do that for you now.The volume of the upside-down ice cream cone is approximately **284.8 mm³**, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Would you like more details or have any questions? 

Here are 5 related questions you could explore:
1. How does changing the radius affect the volume of the cone?
2. What is the surface area of this cone?
3. How would the volume change if the cone were twice as tall?
4. How is the formula for the volume of a cone derived?
5. What is the volume of a cylinder with the same height and radius?

**Tip:** For any cone, if you double the height while keeping the radius the same, the volume also doubles!
