THE VOLUME OF A GLASS OF JUICE

How big is the glass?

To calculate the volume of a glass of juice, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by determining the shape of the glass. Glasses can have various shapes, such as cylindrical, conical, or irregular. For simplicity, let's assume you have a cylindrical glass.

2. Measure the height of the glass (h) using a ruler or measuring tape. Make sure you measure from the base to the brim of the glass.

3. Measure the diameter of the glass (d), which is the distance across the widest part of the circular opening.

4. Calculate the radius of the glass (r) by dividing the diameter by 2 (r = d/2).

5. Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14.

6. Substitute the values you measured into the formula: V = 3.14 * r^2 * h.

7. Square the value of the radius (r) by multiplying it by itself.

8. Multiply the square of the radius by the height (h).

9. Multiply the result by 3.14 (π) to calculate the volume of the glass of juice.

For example, let's say the height of your glass is 15 cm and the diameter is 8 cm. To find the volume:

1. Divide the diameter by 2: r = 8 / 2 = 4 cm.

2. Use the formula: V = 3.14 * (4^2) * 15.

3. Calculate the square of the radius: 4^2 = 16.

4. Multiply the square of the radius by the height: 16 * 15 = 240.

5. Multiply the result by 3.14: 240 * 3.14 ≈ 753.6 cm^3.

Therefore, the volume of your glass of juice would be approximately 753.6 cm^3.
