Question

Monte performs an experiment using 2 identical graduated cylinders, each with a radius of 2 centimeters. The volume of the liquid in the first graduated cylinder is 188.4 cubic centimeters. The volume of the liquid in the second graduated cylinder is 314 cubic centimeters. What is the difference in the height of the liquid in the two cylinders? Use 3.14 for pi.
Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Volume of a cylinder is h x r^2 x pi

You have the volume and radius of each one, so taking 188.4=(2)^2 x 3.14 x h1, you can solve this equation for the height h1. Likewise, for the other graduated cylinder you take 314=2^2 x 3.14 x h2, and then solve for h2.

To get the difference in heights, just take h2-h1 after solving the equations for h2 and h1
