Answer 1

Answer:

              $\large\boxed{\large\boxed{14 units^3}}$

Explanation:

The cone is said to fit perfectly inside the can when the diameter of the cone and its height are equal to those of the can.

The shape of a can can be considered a cylinder.

The volume of a cone that fits into the can is 1/3 the volume of the can.

Thus, the volume of our cone is (1/3) × 42 unit³ = 14 units³
