given two cylindrical containers - - a and b . cylinder a has a diameter of 12 meters and a height of 10 meters . cylinder b has a radius of 2 meters and a height of 4 meters . if cylinder a is filled to capacity with water , how many cylinder b will be filled to capacity with the content of cylinder a ?
calculate the volume of the larger cylinder and divide it by the volume of the smaller cylinder . volume of cylinder = π r 2 h cylinder a volume = 1130.97 cylinder b volume = 50.27 therefore the number of cylinders b that can be filled to capacity = 1130.97 / 50.27 = 22.5 answer is b only 22 cylinders b can be filled to capacity .
divide(volume_cylinder(divide(12, 2), 10), volume_cylinder(2, 4))
