Answer 1

The formula for volume of a cylinder is derived from the area of its base, multiplied by its height.

Here the units for volume are cm3, and the formula for volume of a cylinder is: \[V = π r² h\]
Be careful not to confuse radius with diameter!

Once you have the volume of one object, you should "see how many fit into 2000" through division.
