Answer:

36.644 mL . . . . depending on your value of π (see below)

Explanation:

The height of Micah's cup is found from the radius and slant height. The radius is half the diameter, so is 36 mm. Then the height h is ...

45² = 36² +h²

h = √(45² -36²) = 27 . . . . . mm

The volume is given by the formula ...

V = (1/3)πr²h

V = (1/3)π(36 mm)²(27 mm) = 11664π mm³

For π = 3.14

11664(3.14) mm³ ≈ 36,625 mm³ = 36.625 mL

For π = 3.14159265

11665π mm³ = 36,644 mm³ = 36.644 mL

Comment on units

A unit of measure used for relatively small volumes, especially of liquid, is milliliters (mL). 1 mL = 1000 mm³.
