Question

A cylinder shaped container has a radius of 25 centimeters and a hight of 100 centimeters a glass sphere has a radius of 10 centimeters is placed inside the cylinder shaped container what is the approximate volume of water contained in the cylinder use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

The approximate volume of water contained in the cylinder is approximately 15,706 cubic centimeters.

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

= 3.14 x (25 cm)2 x (100 cm)

= 15,700 cm3

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr3

= 4/3 x 3.14 x (10 cm)3

= 4,189 cm3

Total volume of water = 15,700 cm3 - 4,189 cm3

= 11,511 cm3
