Answer:
volume = pi x r^2 ×h
where r is radius and h is height.
h= 6 in
r= 1
V=(22/7)×1^2 ×6
V=18.857in^3
Step-by-step explanation: Since the glass cup is cylindrical in shape, we use the formula for find volume of a cylinder iff the glass cup is to be filled full.
The volume of water will be equal to the volume of the cup. Across the widest point means diameter, hence half diameter gives radius.
