Problema Solution

A mug in the shape of a cylinder has a base with a radius of 4 cm. How many milliliters of liquid does it hold if filled to a height of 9 cm. (Hint: 1 cm^3 holds 1 mL)

Answer provided by our tutors

let


r = 4 cm the radius of the cylinder

h = 9 cm the height of the cylinder


the volume of the cylinder is


V = r^2*pi*h


V = 16*9*pi


V = 144pi cm^3


V = 452.39 cm^3


since 1 cm^3 holds 1 ml liquid we conclude that the cylinder holds 452.39 ml liquid.
