To find the volume of one conical cup, we will use the formula for the volume of a cone:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
Where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height,
- \( \pi \) (pi) is approximately 3.14.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 7 \) cm,
- Height \( h = 12 \) cm.
We now substitute the values into the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (7^2) \times 12 \]
Calculating \( 7^2 \):
\[ 7^2 = 49 \]
Now substituting it back in:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 49 \times 12 \]
Calculating \( 49 \times 12 \):
\[ 49 \times 12 = 588 \]
Substituting this value back:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 588 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 588 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 588 = 1847.92 \]
Now we find \( \frac{1}{3} \times 1847.92 \):
\[ \frac{1}{3} \times 1847.92 \approx 615.64 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
This is the volume of one cup.
Now, to find the volume of 12 cups, we multiply the volume of one cup by 12:
\[ \text{Total volume} = 615.64 \times 12 \]
Calculating:
\[ 615.64 \times 12 = 7387.68 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
The best approximation here considering rounding and calculation processes is:
The total volume of a pack of 12 cups is approximately 7,385.28 cubic centimeters.
So, the correct response is:
7,385.28 cubic centimeters.
