Question

An office uses paper drinking cups in the shape of a vine either dimensions as shown to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch what is the volume of each drinking cup

Answer 1

`V=7.91\ \text{inches}^3`

Explanation:

An office uses paper drinking cups in the shape as attached.

The diameter of the cup = 2 3/4 inches

= 11/4 inches

The height of the cup, h = 4 inches

The radius of the cup, r = 1.375 inches (As r = d/2)

We need to find the volume of the drinking cup. It is in the shape of a cone. The volume of a cone is given by :

`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2 h`

Substituting the values of r and h

`V=(1)/(3)\pi * (1.375)^2 * 4\\\\=7.91\ \text{inches}^3`

Hence, the volume of each drinking cups is
`7.91\ \text{inches}^3`.
