A company uses paper cups shaped like cones for its water cooler. Each cup has a height of 12 cm, and the base has a radius of 5.5 cm. The cooler has 18,997 cm of water in it. How many cups can be filled from the cooler?
Use 3.14 for 11, and do not round your answer.

16.65 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

height =12 cm, and

the base has a radius =5.5 cm

Volume of the cup = πr^2h

substitute we have

volume= 3.142*5.5^2*12

volume= 3.142*30.25*12

volume=1140.546cm^3

Step two:

volume of cooler=  18,997 cm^3

hence the number of cups to fill it is

=18,997/1140.546

=16.65 cups

so the rectangle is 80cm (area)

now to find the area of a triangle.

base times height.

4 times 8.

your answer is 96cm.

hope this .
