Question

Geoff is mailing a jar of jam to his grandmother. He finds a rectangular box just tall enough for the jam. Which expression represents the volume of the box that is not occupied by the jar?

Answer 1

answer c-[150-25(pi)]h cm

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

My answer:

Given the information:

• box length-15
• box width-10
• box and jar height unknown (h)
• radius of jar-5

As we all know that, the formula used to determine the volume of the box is:

V = the length* the width * the height

In this situation, we have:

V = 15*10*h

= 150h cubic units

• The volume of the jar

V = the base*the height

In this situation, we have:

V = h*π
`r^(2)`

<=> V =
`5^(2) h`π = 25πh

=> The volume of the box that is not occupied by the jar

= The volume of the box - The volume of the jar

= 150h - 25πh

= h(150 - 25π)

We choose C
