Medals!! anyone!!!???? Gold in the form of solid cylinders will be molded into solid blocks. Each cylinder has a diameter of 6.19 cm and a height of 6 cm. Each solid block will have a volume of 360 cm3. How many cylinders of gold will it take to mold one block of gold? 1 2 3 4 5

You need to calculate the volume of a cylinder. What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Formula for Volume of a Cylinder: \(V = \pi r^2 h\)

what @iGreen said

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the square of the radius by the height and by pi.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Info: Diameter of 1 Gold Cylinder: 6.19 Radius = Half the Diameter Half of 6.19 is 3.095. Height is 6. \(V = \pi r^2 h\) Plug in the values: \(V \approx (3.14)(3.095)^2(6)\) \(V \approx (3.14)(9.58)(6)\) \(V \approx (30.08)(6)\) \(V \approx 180.48\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Volume of the Gold cylinders is approximately 180. Volume of each solid block is 360. So it will take approximately 2 Gold cylinders to make one solid block.
