Question

Jason decides to see a movie. When he arrives at the snack counter to buy his popcorn, he has two choices in the shape of the popcorn container.

One popcorn container is a cone and costs $6.75 the other is a cylinder and costs $6.25 .

Find the volume of BOTH popcorn containers.

Answer 1

The volume of a cone is calculated as 1/3πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. The volume of the cone-shaped popcorn container would be 1/3 * π * 6² * 19 ≈ 718.08 cm³.

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. The volume of the cylinder-shaped popcorn container would be π * 4² * 15 ≈ 753.98 cm³.

So the cone-shaped popcorn container has a volume of approximately 718.08 cm³ and costs $6.75 while the cylinder-shaped popcorn container has a volume of approximately 753.98 cm³ and costs $6.25.
