Question

A rectangular box has dimensions 12 cm wide, 12 cm long, and 20 cm tall.

A cylinder has a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 20 cm.

Using the above information, answer the following questions:

What is the volume of the rectangular box? 2880
What is the volume of the cylinder? 1.20
How many more cubic centimeters can the box hold than the cylinder?

Use 3.14 for Pi

Answer 1

Explanation:

Box volume = 2880 cm^3 <=====correct

Cylinder volume = pi * r^2 * h = 3.14 * (6^2) (20) = 2260.8 cm^3

(radius, r = 1/2 diameter = 6 cm)

Box can hold this much more: 2880 - 2260.8 = 619.2 cm^3
