a movie theater Is considering two different sized containers for its popcorn. One option is a cone shaped cup that has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 6 cm. The other option is a cylinder that has a diameter of 8 cm and a height of 12 cm. what container holds more?

Answer 1

The cylinder one.

Vcylinder = pi*r^2*h = pi * 4^2 *12 = 192*pi cm^3
Vcone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h = 1/3 * pi * 5^2 * 6 = 50*pi cm^3
