Question 11 of 15

Micah is filling up his cone-shaped cup with water. The cup (as shown) has a diameter of 72 millimeters and a slant height of 45

millimeters. How much water can Micah fill in his cup?

  36.644 mL . . . . depending on your value of π (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of Micah's cup is found from the radius and slant height. The radius is half the diameter, so is 36 mm. Then the height h is ...

  45² = 36² +h²

  h = √(45² -36²) = 27 . . . . . mm

The volume is given by the formula ...

  V = (1/3)πr²h

  V = (1/3)π(36 mm)²(27 mm) = 11664π mm³

For π = 3.14

  11664(3.14) mm³ ≈ 36,625 mm³ = 36.625 mL

For π = 3.14159265

  11665π mm³ = 36,644 mm³ = 36.644 mL

Comment on units

A unit of measure used for relatively small volumes, especially of liquid, is milliliters (mL). 1 mL = 1000 mm³.

answer: c

because if you look at the chart you can see a pattern and compare it to the question he simplify out your

but i think the formula is f(x)=6x

1/800 is the right answer
