<PRE><B>Question 1129862</B>
One hundred pyramid-shaped chocolate candies with a square base with 12 mm sides and height of 15 mm are melted in a cylindrical pot.
 If the pot has a radius of 75 mm, what is the height of the melted candies in the pot?
:
The volume of a pyramid V = {{{1/3}}}{{{b^2*h}}} 
V = {{{1/3}}}{{{12^2*15}}}
V = 5*144
V = 720 cu/mm for each candy
Total volume for 100 candies
100 * 720 = 72000 cu/cm
:
let h = the height of the melted chocolate in the round pot
{{{pi*75^2*h}}} = 72000
h = {{{72000/((pi*75^2))}}}
turn the crank on your calc
h = 4.07 mm is the height is the melted chocolate</PRE>
