Question

The volume (V) of a cylinder can be found using the formula V = (pi)r^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. A cylinder has a diameter of
2 inches. It is filled with water to a the height of 4 inches. The water is then transferred to a new cylinder with a diameter of 4 inches.
What is the height of the water in the new cylinder?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of first cylinder = volume of  second cylinder because it never changes it stays the same

volume of first cylinder = (pi) (1)^2 (4) = 4pi

height of second cylinder: 4pi = (pi) (2)^2 h

pi would cancel so you are left with 4=4h

where height of second cylinder would be 1 in
