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 can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where V is the volume, π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values, we have V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 3^2 * 7.
Simplifying, we get V = 3.14 * 9 * 7.
Multiplying, we find V = 197.82.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the coffee maker can hold approximately 197.82 cubic inches of coffee grounds.
