Answer:
Volume of water remaining in Abigail's cup = 25.12 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
As runners in a marathon go by, volunteers hand them small cone shaped cups of water. The cups have the dimensions radius 3 cm and height 8 cm. Abigail sloshes 2/3 of the water out of her cup before she gets a chance to drink any. What is the volume of water remaining in Abigail's cup? Use 3.14 for Pi
Volume of a cone cup = πr²h/3
Radius, r = 3 cm
Height, h = 8 cm
Pi, π = 3.14
Volume of a cone cup = πr²h/3
= (3.14 * 3² * 8) / 3
= (3.14 * 9 * 8) / 3
= 226.08 / 3
= 75.36 cm³
Abigail sloshes 2/3 of the water out of her cup.
What is the volume of water remaining in Abigail's cup
Volume of water Abigail slosh = 2/3 of 75.36 cm³
= 2/3 * 75.36
= 150.72 / 3
= 50.24 cm³
Volume of water remaining in Abigail's cup = Volume of water in the cup - Volume of water Abigail slosh
= 75.36 cm³ - 50.24 cm³
= 25.12 cm³
Volume of water remaining in Abigail's cup = 25.12 cm³
