Carl is filling flowerpots with soil. Each flowerpot is a cylinder with a radius of 7cm and a height of 10 cm. If Carl has 24,000 cubic centimeters of soil. So, Carl could only fill 15 flower pots.
What is the volume of a right circular cylinder?
Suppose that the radius of considered right circular cylinder be 'r' units.
And let its height be 'h' units.
Then, its volume is given as:
[tex]V = \pi r^2 h \: \rm unit^3[/tex]
The cylinder with a radius of 7cm and a height of 10 cm.
The flower pot = π r² h
[tex]= \pi \times 7^2 \times h\\ = 490 \pi \\ = 1539.38 cm^3[/tex]
= 24000 cm³ / 1539.38 cm³
= 15.59 flower pots
So, Carl could only fill 15 flower pots.
