A paper cup in the shape of an inverted cone is 8 inches tall and has a radius of 1.5 inches. How much water can the cup hold?

Use 3.14 for Pi. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

The cup can hold 18.84 cube in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The height (h) of the inverted cone = 8 inches

The radius of the base (r) = 1.5 inches

To find the amount of water the cup can hold

That is to find the volume of the cup.

Formula

The volume of a cone with h as height and r as base is = πr²h

Now, putting the values of r and h and π =3.14 we get,

Volume =  ×3.14×1.5²×8 cube in = 18.84 cube in

Hence,

The cup can hold 18.84 cube in water.
