Question 1129673: A large cylindrical container with a height of 32cm and a radius of 8cm has water in it to a depth of 26cm. A smaller cylindrical container with no water in it has a height of 28cm and a radius of 5cm. The smaller container container is lowered into the larger. As it is lowered, water rises in the larger and then spills out onto the ground until the top of the smaller container is level with the top of the larger. As the smaller container is lowered further, water from the larger spills into the smaller. When the smaller container is lowered all the way, it is then removed. What is the difference in cm in the height of the water left in the larger container and the height of the water that spilled into the smaller?
