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
.(1 point)
? cubic inches
The volume of a cone is calculated using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values, we get:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(3^2)(7)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(9)(7)
V = (0.33)(3.14)(9)(7)
V = 19.2786
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the container is approximately 19.28 cubic inches.
