Answer

(a) $31.4$ cm. (b) $5$ cm (c) $3.32$ cm (d) $86.8cm^3$

Work Step by Step

(a) The circumference C of the opening of the cup is the same as the arc length for angle $\theta$, thus $C=6\theta=6\times\frac{5\pi}{3}=10\pi\approx31.4$ cm. (b) With $C=2\pi r=10\pi$ (use result from (a)), we get $r=5$ cm (c) Use the Pythagorean Theorem, we have $h^2+r^2=6^2$, with $r=5$ we have $h^2=36-25=11$ so that $h=\sqrt {11}\approx3.32$ cm (d) The volume of the cup $V$ is given by $V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h=\frac{\pi}{3}\times5^2\times3.32\approx86.8cm^3$
