Question

Carson decides to estimate the volume of a coffee cup by modeling it as a right cylinder. Carson measures its circumference as 15.1 cm and its volume as 161 cubic centimeters. Find the height of the cup in centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

please help ;-;

Answer 1

The answer is 4.0 cm

Answer 2

To find the height of the coffee cup, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr^2h

where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

We are given that the circumference of the coffee cup is 15.1 cm. The formula for the circumference of a cylinder is:

C = 2πr

where C is the circumference and r is the radius.

We can use this formula to find the radius of the coffee cup:

15.1 cm = 2πr

r = 15.1 cm / (2π)

r ≈ 2.4 cm

Now we can use the given volume and radius to find the height of the coffee cup:

161 cm^3 = π(2.4 cm)^2h

h = 161 cm^3 / (π(2.4 cm)^2)

h ≈ 4.0 cm

Therefore, the height of the coffee cup is approximately 4.0 cm.
