Question

A stack of one dozen cookies of diameter

5 in. exactly fits in a cylindrical container of
volume 179.715 in.3. Which is the thickness of
each cookie?

Answer 1

.763 in for each cookie

Explanation:

`179.715 =\pi (2.5)^(2) h\\179.715= \pi (6.25)h\\179.715=19.635h\\h=9.153\\`

After you solve for the height you would divide it by 12 to get the thickness of one cookie which is .763 in.
