Question

Samuel filled the glasses shown below completely with water. The total amount of water that Samuel poured into the glasses is 60 cubic centimeters. What is the height of glass 1? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (Use π = 3.14.) Note that all measurements are in centimeters and images are not drawn to scale. A cylinder with width 4 and height unknown is labeled glass 1, and a cone with height 6 and width 5 is labeled glass 2. 0.2 centimeter 1.7 centimeters 3.9 centimeters 5.6 centimeters

Answer 1

The answer should be 1.7

Answer 2

Answer:

1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the volume of Glass 2 (volume of a cone = 1/3πr² ·h)

1/3 · 3.14 · 2.5² · 6 = 39.25 cm³

2. Subtract the volume of Glass 2 from the amount of water poured

60 - 39.25 = 20.75 cm³

3. Set up the equation for Glass A using x for the height being solved for (volume of a cylinder = πr² · h)

3.14 · 2² · x = 20.75

12.56x = 20.75

4. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12.56 (round to the nearest tenth)

x = 1.7
