The volume of a cube is,
V=s%5E3=4%5E3=64cm%5E3
Since there are four ice cubes,
V%5Bw%5D=4%2A64
V%5Bw%5D=256cm%5E3.
.
.
The volume of a cylinder is,
V=pi%2AR%5E2%2AH
Set that equal to the volume of water and calculate H in cm.
pi%2A6%5E2%2AH=256
H=256%2F%2836pi%29

Four ice cubes with edges of 4 cm are placed in a cylinder glass with a radius of 6 cm. How high will the water rise in the glass when the ice melts.
-----
Each cube's volume is 4^3 = 64 cc
4*64 = 256 cc
-----
For the cylinder:
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah+=+256
Solve for h
