To find the volume of a box that would hold these nine cylinders, you would start with the formula for volume of a cylinder. V=pi x r^2 x h. Substitute in the known volume and the known Height. 9.425=pi x r^2 x 3. Divide both sides by three to get approximately 3.143 = pi x r^2. Divided by pi on both sides. This leaves you with one = r^2. So the radius is equal to one. If the radius equals one, the diameter is two. Assuming the cylinders are arranged in a 3 x 3 array, the length and width of the rectangle or box would be 6cm x 6cm. To find the volume of the box necessary, multiply the length of six by the width of six by the height of three. The volume would be 108 square cm.
If you multiply 6 times 2 it is 12, which means if you take away 12 from 100 that is 88. if you divided 88 by 2 (the same thing you did to the 6 to make it 12%) that would be 44.
