Question

Brian works in the lab and feels an empty cylindrical flask with 200 cubic centimeters of liquid. The flask has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 12 cm. What percent of the volume of the flask is not filled with liquid?

Answer 1

49.49%

Explanation:

volume of liquid in the flask= 200 cm^3

radius of the flask = 3 cm

height of the flask= 12 cm

volume of flask is given by =

putting values and solving we get =396 cm^3

therefore the volume unfilled= 396-200= 196cm^3

therefore % of volume unfilled= 196/396*100= 49.49%
