An office uses paper drinking cups in the shape of a cone, with dimensions as shown. To the nearest tenth of a cubic inch, what
1 answer:
*see attachment for the dimensions of the cone given.
Answer:
7.9 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of cone = 4 in.
Diameter of cone = 2¾ in
Radius (r) = ½ of 2¾ = 1.375 in
Required:
Volume of the cup
Solution:
Volume of the cup = volume of a cone
Volume of a cone = ⅓πr²h
Plug in the values of π, r and h into the formula.
Volume = ⅓*3.14*1.375²*4 = 7.9 in³ (approximated to the nearest tenth)
