Question 763511: Rectangular prism dimensions- a=30, b=20, c=15
Cylinder dimensions- h=40, r=10
The water from the rectangular tank is poured into the cylindrical tank. How far does the water reach up the side of the cylindrical tank?

Volume of rectangular prism =
30 * 20 * 15
= 9000cm^3 (I am assuming cm^3)
Volume of cylinder=
Pi* r^2*h
Pi * 10^2 * h (not knowing height)
Pi * 100 * h = 9000cm^3
h = 9000cm^3/Pi * 100
h = 28.7cm.
Hope this helps.
:-)
