\text{ Volume of a cone = }(1)/(3)\pi r^2h

Where r = radius of the base of the cone

h = height (perpendicular height) of the cone

for this figure, r = 4.5cm, h = 6cm

Its volume is calculated by :


\begin{gathered} \text{ V= }(1)/(3)\text{ x 3.14 x 4.5 x 4.5 x 6} \\ \text{ V = }127.17\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}

From the options, the closest to the maximum volume of water the cup can hold is 127cm^3
