Problema Solution
A cylinder has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 15 cm. it is only 1/4 full. what is the volume.
Answer provided by our tutors
d = 10 cm the diameter
r = d/2 is the radius of the cylinder
h = 15 cm is the height
pi = 3.1416
the formula for volume of a cylinder is
V = r^2*pi*h
V = (10/2)^2*pi*15
V = 375pi cm^3
V = 1178.1 cm^3
the volume of the entire cylinder is 1178.1 cm^3.
we will find the volume of the full part of the cylinder
(1/4) V = (1/4)*375pi = 93.75 pi = 294.524 cm^3
the volume of 1/4 of the cylinder is 294.524 cm^3.
