Answer:311.77

Explanation:

[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h ]

where:

(V) represents the volume of the cone.

(\pi) (pi) is approximately 3.14159.

(r) is the radius of the base of the cone (2.8 meters).

(h) is the height of the cone (12.7 meters).

Plugging in the given values:

[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14159 \cdot (2.8)^2 \cdot 12.7 ]

Calculating the volume:

[ V \approx 3.14159 \cdot 7.84 \cdot 12.7 ]

[ V \approx 311.77 , \text{m}^3 ]

Therefore, Daija’s paper cup can hold approximately 311.77 cubic meters of water.
