Question 1198550: The base of a conical vessel is 1,000 cm^2. How many liters of water can it contain if it is 1 meter deep? Answer by ikleyn(52778) (Show Source):
The volume of a cone is one third of the product of its base area and its height.
The given data must be converted to the consistent units.
So, we have base area = 1000 cm^2, the height = 100 cm.
Then the volume = = cm^3 = liters = 33.333 liters (rounded). ANSWER
1 liter = 1000 cm^3.
