Li is using a cone shaped cup with a diameter of 7 and 3/8 cm and a height of 10 cm. Find the total volume of the cup. Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of the cup is of 142.2 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cone volume is given by the following equation:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}[/tex]

In which r is the radius, which is half the diameter, and h is the height.

In this question:

Dimensions in cm, so the volume will be in cubic centimers.

Height of 10 cm, so [tex]h = 10[/tex]

Diameter of [tex]7 + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{7*8 + 3}{8} = \frac{59}{8} = 7.375[/tex]

So the radius is [tex]r = \frac{7.375}{2} = 3.6875[/tex]

Volume of the cup:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi*(3.6875)^{2}*10}{3} = 142.4[/tex]

The volume of the cup is of 142.2 cubic centimeters.
