The diameter of a conical paper cup is 3.5 inches, and the length of the sloping side is 4.55 inches. How much water will the cup hold?
\n" ); document.write( "VOLUME OF A CONE = V =PI*R*R*H/3
\n" ); document.write( "WE HAVE DIAMETER=3.5 INCHES...HENCE RADIUS =3.5/2=1.75 INCHES
\n" ); document.write( "SLANT LENGTH =L=4.55
\n" ); document.write( "FROM PYTHOGARUS THEOREM WE HAVE L*L=H*H+R*R
\n" ); document.write( "4.55*4.55=H*H+1.75*1.75
\n" ); document.write( "H*H=4.55*4.55-1.75*1.75=(4.55+1.75)(4.55-1.75)=6.3*2.8=(3*3*0.7)*(0.7*2*2)
\n" ); document.write( "H=3*0.7*2=4.2
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE V=PI*1.75*1.75*4.2/3=13.475 CUBIC INCHES
\n" ); document.write( "
