A 6 oz paper cup is shaped like a cone with a diameter of 4 inches. How many ounces of water will a plastic cylindrical cup with a diameter of 4 inches hold if it is the same height as the paper cup?

The plastic cylindrical cup will hold 17.96 ounces of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 6 oz paper cup is shaped like a cone with a diameter of 4 inches.

Now, to find ounces of water will a plastic cylindrical cup with a diameter of 4 inches hold if it is the same height as the paper cup.

Volume of cone = 6 oz.

Diameter = 4 inches.

So, radius (r) =

Taking the value = 3.14.

Now, to get the height (h) we put formula:

Multiplying both sides by 3 we get:

Dividing both sides by 12.56 we get:

Now, to get the volume of cylindrical cup.

As, given it is the same height as the paper cup.

Height (h) = 1.43 inches.

Diameter = 4 inches.

Radius (r) =

So, we put formula to get the ounces of water a plastic cylindrical cup will hold:

Therefore, the plastic cylindrical cup will hold 17.96 ounces of water.
