A drinking glass is in the shape of a cylinder that is 60mm in diameter and 15mm tall. How many cubic centimeters of water will it hold? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This question is asking for the volume of the cylinder.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We need the formula V = pi(r)^2 h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the diameter is 60mm, then the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 30mm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We are given the height to be 15mm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now plug and chug.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = pi(30)^2(15)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = 13,500pi....This is an answer in terms of pi.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you must use the value of pi, then use the fact that pi = 3.14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = (3.14)(13,500)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = 42,390mm^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
