Question

A cylindrical container has radius 1 m.

The cylinder contains 628 litres of water.
Calculate depth of water in the cylinder giving your answer in cm
take pi to be 3.14

Answer 1

0.2 m

Explanation:

You want to know the height of a cylinder with 1 m radius and a volume of 628 liters.

Volume

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

V = πr²h

Using the given values, we have ...

0.628 m³ = 3.14(1 m)²h

0.2 m = h . . . . . . . . . divide by 3.14 m²

The depth of the water in the cylinder is 0.2 m.
