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)

1 answer

The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

V = (1/3)(3.14)(3²)(7)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(9)(7)
V = (0.33)(3.14)(9)(7)
V = (0.33)(28.26)
V = 9.34 cubic inches

Therefore, the coffee maker can hold approximately 9.34 cubic inches of coffee grounds.
