Question

Given a soda can with a volume of 21 and a diameter of 6, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can? (Hint: only enter numerals in the answer blank).

Answer 1

The volume of the cone that can best or perfectly fit into a cylindrical shaped object is 1/3 of the volume of the cylinder.
volume of cone = 1/3 (volume of cylinder)
Substituting the known values,
volume of cone = 1/3 (21) = 7
Thus, the answer is 7
