Problema Solution
Gasoline Containers Mark Russo has two right cylindrical containers for storing gasoline. One has a diameter of 10 in. and a height of 12 in. The other has a diameter of 12 in. and a height of 10 in
a)Which container holds the greater amount of gasoline, the taller one or the one with the greater diameter?
b)What is the difference in volume?
Answer provided by our tutors
To get to volume of the cylinders use the equation v=pi*r^2*h
A
1: v=pi*(10/2)^2*12=942.48in^3
2.v=pi*(12/2)^2*10=1130.97in^3
B
Difference = 1130.97 in^3 - 942.48 in^3 = 188.49 in^3
