Question 900964: Consider a bucket which is cylindrical in shape with a diameter of 25 cm and height of 35 cm. The bucket is going to be used to fill a large container which is in the shape of a rectangular prism measuring 3.6 m long, 2.5 m wide and 1.2 m high. To what height would the container be filled if 10 buckets, completely filled with water, were poured into the container?

Volume of the water: %2810%29%2A0.35%2A%28pi%29%2A%280.25%2F2%29%5E2=4.6%2A2.5%2Ay
y is the height of the water in the rectangular tank;
the numbers are all in units of METERS, for cubic meter, but the result for y using that equation will be in meters. Convert as necessary.
