the cup is in the shape of a cone

to find the volume of popcorn it can hold we have to know how to find the volume of a cone

formula for volume of a cone is

Volume = πr²h/3

π = 3.14

radius = diameter /2 = 12/2 = 6 cm

h = 16 cm

substituting the values in the equation

V = 3.14 x (6 cm)² x 16 cm / 3 = 602.9 cm³

answer is 602.9 cm³
