Answer:

Volume of popcorn cup = 602.88 cm^3

Explanation:

Volume of a cone = 1/3 πr^2 h

Given: π = 3.14, r = 12/2 = 6 cm, h = 16 cm

Now plug in these values in the above formula, we get

Volume of popcorn cup = 1/3 * 3.14*6^2*16

= 1/3*3.14 *36*16

= 3.14 *12*16

Volume of popcorn cup = 602.88 cm^3

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
