2. A plastic drinking cup is in the shape of an open top cylinder. The side of the cup is made from a single layer of plastic but the bottom of the cup requires 3 layers of plastic. If you have 260 cm² of plastic, determine a) the dimensions that will maximize the volume of the cup b) the maximum volume that the cup can hold
