Algebra.Com's Answer #388641 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of the cube is equal to s^3. \n" ); document.write( "s = 5.5 \n" ); document.write( "V = (5.5)^3 \n" ); document.write( "The volume of the cylinder is equal to pi*r^2*h \n" ); document.write( "diameter is equal to 11. \n" ); document.write( "radius is equal to half that. \n" ); document.write( "r = 5.5 \n" ); document.write( "The volume of the water is the same volume as the cube. \n" ); document.write( "The only difference is the shape of the container. \n" ); document.write( "This means that the volume of the cube has to be equal to the volume of the water. \n" ); document.write( "The volume of the cube is equal to (5.5)^3 which is equal to 166.375 cm^3 (cubic centimeters). \n" ); document.write( "The volume of the cylinder is equal to pi*r^2*h and that volume must be equal to 166.375 cm^3. \n" ); document.write( "The equation for the cylinder is therefore 166.375 = pi*r^2*h. \n" ); document.write( "since the radius of the cylinder is equal to 5.5 cm, the formula for the cylinder becomes: \n" ); document.write( "166.375 = pi*(5.5)^2*h \n" ); document.write( "we can take this formula and solve for h to get: \n" ); document.write( "h = 166.375 / (pi*(5.5)^2) \n" ); document.write( "The result of that gets you: \n" ); document.write( "h = 1.750704373 \n" ); document.write( "dropping the cube into the cylinder of water will make the water rise by 1.750704373 cm^3. \n" ); document.write( "That's due to the equivalent volume of water that has been displaced.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
