Question

A cup is in the shape of a cone. If the cup has a height of 6 inches and a diameter of 3 inches, which is closest to the amount of water the cup can hold? A 9.42 cubic inches B 14.13 cubic inches C 56.52 cubic inches D 113.04 cubic inches

Answer 1

B.14.13in³

Explanation:

Step one

The shape of the cup is that of a cone

The volume of a cone

V=1/3πr²h

Radius= d/2 = 1.5in

Height =6in

Substitute

V=1/3*3.142*1.5²*6

V=42.42/3

V=14.13in³
