Question

C. If one cubic foot contains about 7.5 gallons, how many gallons of water are in the pool? (3 points) I Water: gallons 3. A rectangular cake pan is 13 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches. A round cake pan has a diameter of 8 inches and a height of 2 inches. Which will hold more batter, one rectangular pan or two round pans? (5 points)​

Answer 1

One Rectangular Pan

Explanation:

Part C cannot be answered since the dimensions of the pool are not given. Please check the question.

The cake pans may be compared by calculating the volume of each shape:

Rectangular pan: Volume = Length x Width x Height

Volume Rectangle = (13")*(9")*(2") = 234 in^3

Round pan: Volume =
`\pi r^(2) h`

Volume Round = (3.14)*(4")^2(2") = 100.5 in^3

Two round pans will hold 2*(100.5 in^3) or 201 in^3 of batter

One rectangular pan holds 234 in^3.

Go with the rectangular pan if you want more cake.
