Question

A cylindrical container if radius 4 cm and height 15 cm is half filled with water. Find the volume of water in the container

Answer 1

= 0.377 liters

= 377 mililiters

Explanation:

Volume of a regular cylindrical container = л r ² h

л = 3.1416 (aprox,)

r = radius

h = height = 15cm (half filled) = 15/2 = 7.5cm

then:

Volume = 3.1416 * (4cm)² * 7.5cm

volume = 3.1416 * 16cm² * 7.5cm

volume = 377 cm³ (aproximadly)

1 cm³ = 0.001 liters

377 cm³ = 0.001*377 = 0.377 liters = 377 mililiters
