Question 989504: a rectangular container with length 4x cm, breadth 3x cm and height x cm, contains 12 identical cylindrical cans with diameter x cm and height x cm.The remaining space is filled with sand.
What is the volume of the sand that is required?leave your answer in terms of pi Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The volume of the box is the length times the width times the height. The volume of one of the cans is , so the volume of all 12 cans is . Don't forget that you are given the diameter so you have to divide by 2 to find the radius.
Calculate the volume of the box. Calculate the volume of the 12 cans. Subtract the volume of the cans from the volume of the box. The answer is probably best presented as a binomial factor times
