Answer 1

Answer: B (The other guy that answered is correct)

Explanation:

The answer to the question is 9.42 (terms of pie is 3)

Answer 2

9.42 cubic inches

Explanation:

We are to find the volume of the cone.

The formula is given as:

1/3πr²h

From the question,

Diameter = 3 inches, Radius = D/2 = 3/2

r = 1.5 inches

h = 4 inches

Hence, the volume of the cone =

1/3 × π × 1.5² × 4

= 9.42 cubic inches

Therefore, the filter can hold 9.42 cubic inches of liquid without overflowing.
