Question

can you guide me through this question?

Answer 1

Marna wants to store two hundred cubic inches of homemade pasta sauce in a food storage container. Should she choose the cylinder with a radius of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches, or the cube with a side length of 5 inches? Explain.

Answer 2

okay theres the question, for the cylinder i got 401.92 is that correct?

Answer 3

wait for this question you want to find the volume because thats the inside of the object correct?

Answer 4

Volume of cylinder = pi*r*2*h
substitute the correct values: pi*16*6 or about 301.44 in³
Volume of cube = s³
substitute the correct values:
5^3 = 125 in^3

based on this information, which one should she use?

Answer 5

would r be times 2 or R to the second power?

Answer 6

r to the second sorry

Answer 7

Answer 8

the cube only holds 125 in^, but you need to store 200 in^3. so yes, use the cylinder
