One hundred pyramid-shaped chocolate candies with a square base with 12 mm sides and height of 15 mm are melted in a cylindrical pot.
\n" ); document.write( " If the pot has a radius of 75 mm, what is the height of the melted candies in the pot?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of a pyramid V = \"1%2F3\"\"b%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"1%2F3\"\"12%5E2%2A15\"
\n" ); document.write( "V = 5*144
\n" ); document.write( "V = 720 cu/mm for each candy
\n" ); document.write( "Total volume for 100 candies
\n" ); document.write( "100 * 720 = 72000 cu/cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let h = the height of the melted chocolate in the round pot
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A75%5E2%2Ah\" = 72000
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"72000%2F%28%28pi%2A75%5E2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "turn the crank on your calc
\n" ); document.write( "h = 4.07 mm is the height is the melted chocolate
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
