\

A cone-shaped drinking cup is drawn from the side view.

\

\"\"

\

Observe the figure.

\

From the pythagorean theorem,

\

\"\"

\

The volume of the cone is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Apply derivative on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

\

The volume of the cone is maximum when its first derivative becomes zero.

\

Equate \"\" to zero.

\

\"\"

\

The height of the cone is \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the maximum capacity of the cup is \"\".

\

\

The maximum capacity of the cup is \"\".
