Question

Can someone help please? :)

A storage tank holds 235,500 in3 of a chemical. The chemical is dispensed to completely fill 25 identical cylindrical containers, each with a radius of 5 in. What is the height of the cylindrical containers? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

Answer 1

Vtotal=25 times volume of each small cylinder

find volume of each cylinder small
V=hpir^2
r=5
V=hpi5^2
v=hpi25
use 3.14 for pi
V=78.5h

Vtotal=25 times vsmal contanier

25 of these
mulitly volume by 25
78.5h times 25=1962.5h

235500=1962.5h
divide both sides by 1962.5
120=h
the height of each cylnder was 120 inches or 10 feet
