Question

A cone shaped water cup has a height of 3.3 inches and a diameter of 2.7 inches. One fluid once is equivalent to 1.8 cubic inches. What is the capacity, in fluids onces, of ther cup? Use 314

Answer 1

Capacity=349.72

Explanation:

Volume of a cone=1/3*314*(2.7/)2*2.7/2)*3.3=629.492inches

One fluid onces=1.8 cubic inches,

So Capacity=629.492/1.8=349.72

Answer 2

Answer: volume = 3.5 fluid ounces

Explanation:

we would apply the formula for determining the volume of a cone which is expressed as

Volume = 1/3 × πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cone.

h represents the vertical height of the cone.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Height = 3.3 inches

Diameter = 2.7 inches

Radius = diameter/2 = 2.7/2

Radius = 1.35 inches

Therefore,

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 1.35² × 3.3

Volume = 6.295 cubic inches

One fluid once is equivalent to 1.8 cubic inches. Therefore, the capacity of the cup is

6.295/1.8 = 3.5 fluid ounces
