Question

Now it's time to move on to the second challenge called Tennis Trouble. The second challenge is to figure out how many tennis balls fit in a specially designed container. The radio station will give away a prize pack and a pair of front row tickets to the winner of this challenge! Each tennis ball is 2.63 inches in diameter. A sketch of the specially designed container is below. How many tennis balls can fit inside the container? How many more tennis balls could fit into the container if the container’s dimensions are doubled? You must show all work to receive credit.

Answer 1

start by finding the volume of container

Answer 2

how do u do that?

Answer 3

look at the container,
its a cylinder with a cone top, eh ?

Answer 4

ya

Answer 5

radius of circular base = 13/2 = 6.5

Volume of cylinder = \(\large \pi (6.5)^2 * 36 = ?\)

Volume of cone top \(\large \frac{1}{3} \pi (6.5)^2 * 8 = ?\)

so, volume of total container = ?

Answer 6

ok thanks
