Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum area will be a square. Everything else will have a height less than one of the sides of the square.

Use Pythagoras to find the length of the side of the square.

s^2 = 2^2 + 2^2

s^2 = 8

s = 2sqrt(2)

s^2 = 8

the square will have 8 cm^2

How many cylindrical can of bottles 12 cm high and with 6 cm diameter could be filled from a tank containing 125 liters of deter
Orlov [11]

Answer:

368 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of 1 can = π r^2 h.

Here h (height) = 12 and r (radius) = 1/2 * 6 = 3 cm.

So V =  π * 3^2 * 12

= 108π cm^3.

The tank hold 125 liters

=  125,000 cm^3, so:

Number of cans that could be filled = 125000/ 108 π

= 368.4.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

If you want a simple average, you can add all the speeds you see and divide them by the number of how many they are.  

So firstly you have to calculate the speed of the first point, which is:  

20 miles/0.5 hour

That means: 40 miles/hour

That would be your first "speed"

Then you calculate all of them :speed1+speed2+speed3 = something.  

As an example: 20miles/hr + 40miles/hr+0miles/hr = 60miles/hr

Then, you divide it by how many "speeds" they are: 60miles/hr divided by 3 if I continue my previous example.

It is my first answer, and I hope I could help you a bit!

Sorry for the awkward English, as it is not my mother tongue.
