Answer:

The shorter piece is <u>37</u> inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x and the longer piece be 5x.

x + 5x = 222

6x = 222

x = 222 ÷ 6

x = 37

ololo11 [35]
Volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr^2h

Since the content of the storage tank completely filled the 25 identical cylinders, this means that the volume of the 25 cylinders combined is equal to the volume of the storage tank.

25(πr^2h) = 235,500
πr^2h = 235,500/25 = 9,420
h = 9,420/(3.14 x 5^2) = 9,420/78.5 = 120.

Therefore, the height of the cylinderical containers is 120 in
