The figure shown below illustrates the problem.
The volume of the empty cone is
V₁ = (1/3) π r²h
The volume of the sphere is
V₂ = (4/3) π r³
Because the melted ice cream completely fills the cone, therefore
V₁ = V₂
(1/3) π r² h = (4/3) π r³
Divide each side by (1/3) π r².
h = 4r
Answer:
The height of the cone is 4 times greater than the radius f the cone.
