Question

Four cubes of ice, each with an edge length of 4 cm are left to melt in an empty cylindeical glass with a radius of 6 cm. What is the height of the water in the glass once all four cubes have melted completely?

Answer 1

Answer: ~ 2.263 cm

Explanation:

Each cube has a volume of 4*4*4 = 64 cc

Vol = 4 times that = 256 cc

Vol of the cylinder = pi times
`r2` times h=256

256=pi times
`6^2` times h

h=256 divided by 36 times pi

h=64/(9pi)

h= ~ 2.263 cm
