Daren used rice to fill a cylindrical glass measuring 6 inches high with a radius of 2.5 inches. He

pours this rice into a cardboard cylinder that is 3.5 inches high with a diameter of 8 inches. Will he have
enough rice to fill the cardboard cylinder? Explain (must show all work) Round to the nearest tenth if

Answer:

no

Explanation:

1. Find the area of the glass cylinder


V=\pi 2.5^26


V=\pi (6.25)6


V=19.625(6)


V=117.8

2. Find the volume of the cardboard cylinder

(the radius is 4 because
r=(1)/(2) d )


V=\pi 4^23.5


V=\pi (16)3.5


V=50.24(3.5)


V=175.8


117.8<175.8

the volume of the cardboard cylinder is greater than the volume of the glass cylinder so no, he will not have enough rice to fill the cardboard cylinder .
