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 .

Answer 1

The volume of a cone can be found using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h.

Given the radius (r) = 3 inches and height (h) = 7 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:

V = (1/3)(3.14)(3^2)(7)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(9)(7)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(63)
V = 9.42(63)
V = 593.46

Therefore, the coffee maker can hold approximately 593.46 cubic inches of coffee grounds.
