gudden · Answer

equate the volume of cylinder with volume of water in cylinder and volume of the 6 marbles...

anonymous · Answer

am i supposed to use the volume formula

gudden · Answer

yup..

anonymous · Answer

whats the volume formula again

gudden · Answer

volume of cylinder = pi (r)^2 (h)

where r = radius and h = height

gudden · Answer

and since marbles are round in shape.. therefore... they are spherical
4/3 (pi) (r^3)

anonymous · Answer

i only see the height number and the diameter in the question

gudden · Answer

u are supposed to use the height of the cylinder...till the water level..

and diameter = 2 (radius)
