Answer: 83 cups

Explanation:

The volume of the sink is 1072 in³.

One day, his sink clogged. He has to use one of two cylindrical cups to scoop the water out of the sink. The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder us expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Diameter of the cylindrical cup = 2inches

Radius = diameter/2

Radius of the cylindrical cup = 2/2 = 1 inch

Height of the cylindrical cup = 4 inches

Volume of the cylindrical cup

= 3.14 × 1² × 4 = 12.56 inches³

The number of cups of water that Anthony must scoop out of the sink with this cup to empty it is

1072/12.56 = 83 cups to the nearest whole number
