what do you think?

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

Height of water = 15 divided by 2 = 7.5 Radius = half of diameter = 12 divided by 2 = 6 Volume of water = [pi * (radius) * (radius)] * (height)

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

plug in the numbers I gave an tell me what you got for your volume :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 7.5 is the radius

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

nope Height = 7.5 Radius = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 847.8

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

Good! :) now divide that number by 20.14 and you shall get your answer ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 42.09533267130089

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):
