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 .
