Question

Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 12 feet and a height of 9 feet. Container B has a diameter of 8 feet and a height of 20 feet. Container A is full of water and the water is pumped into Container B until Container B is completely full.

After the pumping is complete, what is the volume of the empty space inside Container A, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the volume of container B is Travers from A to B.

so, the volume of the empty space in A is exactly the volume of container B.

the volume of a cylinder is

base area × height = pi×r² × height.

the reside is as always half of the diameter.

r = 8/2 = 4 ft

the volume of the empty space in A = the volume of container B =

= pi×4² × 20 = pi×16 × 20 = 320pi = 1,005.309649... ≈

≈ 1,005.3 ft³
