Question

if you were pouring juice into a cylindrical cup with a 2 inch radius and height of 8 inches. you want to fill it exactly half full, how many cubic inches of juice would you pour

Answer 1

You would pour 50.3 in^3 of juice

Explanation:

The term ‘cubic’ indicates volume

so in the context of this question, we are to calculate the volume of the cylinder, then we divide by 2

Mathematically, we have the volume of the cylinder as;

V = pi * r^2 * h

r = 2 inch

h = 8 inch

Since we are dividing the volume by 2 (exactly half full)

V = 1/2 * pi * 2^2 * 8

V = 50.3 in^3
