Question
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 pi
The volume of a cone is given by the formula: V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values:
V = (1/3) * π * (3^2) * 7
V = (1/3) * π * 9 * 7
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 9 * 7
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 63
V ≈ 65.974
Rounding to the nearest hundredth:
V ≈ 65.97
Therefore, the volume of coffee grounds the container can hold is approximately 65.97 cubic inches.
