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 π
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * (3)^2 * 7
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 9 * 7
V = 9.42 * 7
V = 65.94 cubic inches
Therefore, the coffee container can hold approximately 65.94 cubic inches of coffee grounds.
