Question

Anju's office uses paper cups shaped like cones to serve water. Each cup has a maximum diameter of 8 cm and a height of 10 cm. Anju fills the cup to 3/4 of its height to prevent spills. What is the approximate volume of water in Anju's cup?

Answer 1

Answer: 126 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = (pi)(r^2)(1/3)(h)

diameter = 8 so radius = 4

4 squared is 16

multiply height by 3/4

10(3/4) = 30/4 = 15/2

Multiply this value by 1/3

15/2 x 1/3 = 15/6 = 5/2

(pi)(25)(5/2)

16x5/2 = 80/2 = 40

(pi)(40)

note: you can substitute 3.14 with pi or use actual pi depending on whether or not you have access to a calculator. they will both round to 196.
