The volume of the waffle cone can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder (V=π • r2 • h), where 'r' is the radius of the cone and 'h' is its height. In this case, the radius of the cone is 1.5 inches (half the diameter), and the height is 5.5 inches. Plugging these values into the formula gives us a volume of 44.91 cubic inches (V=3.14159 • 1.52 • 5.5). To round this to the nearest tenth, we simply remove the trailing digits and round up if the digit in the one's place is 5 or greater (in this case, it is not). Therefore, the volume of the waffle cone is 44.9 cubic inches.
