Given data

Dimension of the cylinder

Diameter= 6.5 ft

Height= 12.5 ft

You measure the level of milk to be 2.75 ft from the brim

Required

The dept of the milk in the cylinder

Step two:

to get the depth, we need to subtract the measured level from the brim from the height of the cylinder

= 12.5-2.75

=9.75 ft

Hence the Depth of the milk is 9.75ft
