Answer:

The volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can is 7.

Volume of a can:

21 = r² π h

21 = 3² π h

21 = 9 π h

h = 21/ 9π = 7/ 3π

Volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside a can:

V = 1/3 r² π h = 1/3 · 9 π · 7 / 3π = 7

Or you can use: V cone = 1/3 V cylinder ( with the same basis )

V cone = 1/3 * 21 = 7

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Volume of soda can = 21

Diameter of can = 6

As we know the formula for "Volume of cylinder:"

Now, we have to find the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can.

so, its radius will be 3 cm and height will be

As we know the formula for "Volume of cone":

Hence, the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can is 7.
