(The conical paper cup problem) You have been given the contract for making little conical cups that come with bottled water. These cups are to be made from a circular waxed paper of 4 inches in radius by removing a sector of length x (see Figure 5-4 below). By closing the remaining part of the circle, a conical cup is made. Your objective is to remove the sector so that the cup is of maximum volume.     Instructions Write a program that prompts the user to enter the radius of the circular waxed paper. The program should then output: The length of the removed sector so that the resulting cup is of maximum volume The maximum volume Calculate your answer to two decimal places. Use 3.141592654 for PI
