How to calculate the volume of a paper cup?

[WillyNelson]

How do I calculate the volume of a paper cup, essentially a truncated cone.

Base diameter = 60mm
Top diameter = 80mm
Height = 90mm

Thanks in advance.

Fill it full of water and measure how much you put in.

Put your willy in it. If it fits, it's a small cup.

Quite amusing how some search results yield people using calculus and getting quite complex in their equations, and then others just giving a simple formula that works

Hold it to your ear, see how loud it is.

pee in the cup and see how many cups of **** you can drink before you need to pee again. The average bladder can hold 400ml iirc so you should be able to figure it out that way. Theres a pretty large degree of error in this method though so you might want to repeat the experiment about 10 times to get a decent average.
