    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.
