The formula for the volume of a right cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the volume of the coffee cup is 117 cubic centimeters and the radius is 2.2 cm, we can plug in these values into the formula and solve for h:
117 = π * 2.2^2 * h
117 = 4.84π * h
h = 117 / (4.84π)
h ≈ 7.6 cm
Therefore, the height of the coffee cup is approximately 7.6 cm.
Jack decides to estimate the volume of a coffee cup by modeling it as a right cylinder. Jack measures its radius as 2.2 cm and its volume as 117 cubic centimeters. Find the height of the cup in centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
