Question

A spherical ball of wax with a radius of 5 inches is melted and poured into a container shaped like a rectangular prism with a 12 inch x 10 inch base. What is the height of the melted wax in the new shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.36 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first find the volume of the sphere using the volume formula, after this we set this volume equal to the volume container which is a rectangular prism. After this we simple solve for the height by dividing the volume of the sphere by 12*10 to get the height

So the steps should look like

(4/3)*π*5³=523.599 in³

523.599 in³=12*10*Height

(523.599/(12*10))=4.36 in
