The given situation can be represented by the following figure.

Question Image

Diameter of the cone = 7 cm

Therefore, the radius of the cone =72 cm

Height of the cone = 11 cm

Radius of the hemisphere =72 cm

Volume of the ice cream held by the cone = Volume of the cone + Volume of the hemisphere

=13πr2h+23πr3

=13πr2(h+2r)

=13×227×72×72×11+2×72

=776×18

=231 cm3

Thus, 231 cm3 of ice cream is held by the ice cream cone.
