Question

A paper cup designed to hold popcorn is in the shape of a cone. the diameter of the cup is 12 centimeters and the height is 16 centimeters. what is the volume of popcorn the cup could hold? use 3.14 for pi.

Answer 1

The answer is 602.88, I just took this test.

Answer 2

the cup is in the shape of a cone

to find the volume of popcorn it can hold we have to know how to find the volume of a cone

formula for volume of a cone is

Volume = πr²h/3

π = 3.14

radius = diameter /2 = 12/2 = 6 cm

h = 16 cm

substituting the values in the equation

V = 3.14 x (6 cm)² x 16 cm / 3 = 602.9 cm³

answer is 602.9 cm³
