Answer:

The cup can hold 235.5 cubic cm of popcorn.

Explanation:

A cone shaped popcorn cup has a radius of 5 cm and a height of 9 cm.

Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi.

Now, to find cubic cm of popcorn the cup can hold.

Radius (r)= 5 cm

Height (h)= 9 cm


\pi= 3.14 (as per question).

So, to get the cubic cm of popcorn the cup can hold we put formula of volume:

Volume=
\pir
x^(2) h
(x)/(y) 3

Volume= 3.14 x 5
x^(2) × 9
(x)/(y)3

Volume= 3x14 x 25 x 3

Volume= 235.5 cubic cm.
