The problem is to find the height at which a coffee cup is
full. The height of the cup is 4.375", the top diameter is 3.5", the bottom diameter is 2", and the side length is 4.6477"
I solved for the volume using the equation
where h is height, R is top radius, and r is bottom radius. I got a volume of 26.6299 in3. I multiplied that by
to get a volume of 19.9724 in3. From here i'm stuck. I can't solve for h with the new volume because my top diameter is also changeing. Does anyone have any ideas of where to go from here?
