Question

David is filling a cylindrical cup with medication for his next patient. If he only fills the cup half way, what is the volume of medication in the cup if the radius is 2 inches and the height is 8 inches? 25.15 cubic inches 50.24 cubic inches 100.48 cubic inches 200.96 cubic inches

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of medication in the cup = 50.24 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical cup = πr^2h

Radius, r = 2 inches

Height, h = 8 inches

Volume of the cylindrical cup = πr^2h

= 3.14 × 2^2 × 8

= 3.14 × 4 × 8

= 100.48

Volume of the cylindrical cup = 100.48 cubic inches

If David only fills the cup half way,

then, the volume of medication in the cup = Total volume of the cylinder / 2

= 100.48 inches / 2

= 50.24 cubic inches

volume of medication in the cup = 50.24 cubic inches
