the content of several smaller cylinders ( 3 meter diameter and 6 meter height ) were to be emptied into a larger cylinder ( 20 meter diameter and 10 meter height ) , how many smaller cylinders will fill up the larger cylinder ?
calculate the volume of the larger cylinder and divide it by the volume of the smaller cylinder . volume of cylinder = π r 2 h larger cylinder volume = 3141.59 smaller cylinder volume = 42.41 therefore the number of cylinders b that can be filled to capacity = 3141.59 / 42.41 = 74.1 answer is d 74 smaller cylinders can be filled to capacity .
divide(volume_cylinder(divide(20, const_2), 10), volume_cylinder(divide(3, const_2), 6))
