Question

Two containers hold water side by side both in the shape of a cylinder.container A has a diameter of 16 ft and a height of 19ft.container b has a diameter of 20 feet and a height of 15 feet.container a is full of water and the water is pumped into container b until container a is empty.to the nearest tenth what is the percentage of container b after the pumping is complete

Answer 1

about 81.1%

Explanation:

Volume is proportional to the height and the square of the diameter. This means the ratio of volumes of the two containers is ...

(Volume A)/(Volume B) = (16²·19)/(20²·15) = 4864/6000 ≈ 81.1%

The volume of container A fills about 81.1% of container B.
