An ice cream cone is 5" deep and 2" in top diameter. one scoop of vanilla ice cream, 2" in diameter, is placed on the cone. if the ice cream melts into the cone, will it overflow?

If the total volume of the ice cream exceeds the internal volume of the cone, then it will overflow.

Volume of icecream = 4/3 * pi * r^3 = 4/3*pi*(1)^3 = 4.189 cu. in.Volume of cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h = 1/3*pi*(1)^2*5 = 5.236 cu. in.

Since Volume of cone > Volume of icecream, the cone will not overflow.
