statue to advertise his new shave ice store. He made
this shave ice statue by combining three pieces of
styrofoam. The base of the shave ice was made from a
cone with a height of 120 cm and a diameter of 90 cm.
The ice of the shave ice was created with a hemisphere
piece of styrofoam with a radius of 40 cm. Finally, the
cylindrical straw was placed on top with a diameter of

of the styrofoam statue? If the density of styrofoam is
