A coffee maker has a cone-shaped container to hold the coffee grounds. The radius of the container is 3 inches and the height is 7 inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of coffee grounds the container can hold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth and use 3.14 for
The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula: V = (1/3)πr^2h.
Given that the radius (r) is 3 inches and the height (h) is 7 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.
V = (1/3)π(3^2)(7)
V = (1/3)π(9)(7)
V = (1/3)π(63)
V = 21π
Using 3.14 for π, we can calculate the approximate volume of coffee grounds the container can hold:
V ≈ 21 * 3.14
V ≈ 65.94
Therefore, the volume of coffee grounds the container can hold is approximately 65.94 cubic inches.
