Question

Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 26 feet and a height of 13 feet. Container B has a diameter of 24 feet and a height of 19 feet. Container A is full of water and the water is pumped into Container B until Container A is empty.
After the pumping is complete, what is the volume of the empty portion of Container B, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?

Answer 1

Answer:

3183.96 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

let pi = 3.14

volume of a cylinder is base * height

find the base: (area of circle)

height is given

container A:

circle area = 530.66

multiply 530.66 by the height (13)

530.66 * 13 = 6898.58

container B:

circle area = 530.66

multiple 530.66 by the height (19)

530.66 * 19 = 10082.54

Find empty space:

10082.54-6898.58 = 3183.96
