Question

A brand new filled jar of salsa is 11 cm tall and a has a radius of 6 cm. Kelly eats some of the salsa and the salsa in the jar is now 6 cm high. Approximately how much salsa did Kelly eat? Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. 188 cm³ 565 cm³ 679 cm³ 1244 cm³

Answer 1

Answer:

565cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kelly eats the salsa until it is 6cm high, then she ate, in height, 11cm-6cm=5cm of salsa. The volume of the salsa she ate is in the shape of a cylinder, and the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is πr^2h. Since we have the values for r (radius) and h (height), we can solve for the volume.

V=πr^2h

V=π(6cm)^2(5cm)

V=180πcm³

This is equal to about 565cm³.
