You can put this solution on YOUR website! a cone shaped water cup has an altitude of 10 cm and a radius at the top of 4 cm. The cup is filled with water and then poured into an empty cylinder that has an altitude of 32 cm and a radius of 3 cm. What is the depth of the water in the cylinder?
:
find the volume of the water in the cone
V = 167.55 cu/cm
:
let h = the height of the water in the cylinder = 167.55
28.27h = 167.55
h =
h = 5.9 cm is the depth of the water
:
;
Note: the altitude of the cylinder is not involved.
