Question 1047537: The base of a new trophy has the form of a cyclinder sitting atop a rectangular solid. If 600 in3 of aluminum are needed to form the base, how tall is the rectangle portion Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Impossible to tell from the information provided. You would need to know the volume of the cylinder part, or sufficient information to calculate the volume of the cylinder part, and then you would have to know sufficient information to calculate the length and width of the rectangular base. Otherwise, your answer could be any positive real number.
