A drinking glass is shaped like a cylinder with a height of 12 cm and a radius of 4 cm. Maeva adds 25 spherical pieces of ice to the glass. The pieces of ice each have a diameter of 3 cm. How many cubic centimeters of water can Maeva add to fill the glass to the rim? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and express your answer in hundredths. ___cm3

volume of cylinder = volume of 25 spheres = 25 time the volume of 1 sphere = volume of cylinder -volume of spheres = volume not occupied by solid

Huh?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

to express in hundredths means to 2 decimal places

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how would i find the answer?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

start by actually reading my response

OpenStudy (triciaal):

let me know what specific question you have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhh I believe I actually did...

OpenStudy (triciaal):

so where did you get stuck let me try to clear it up for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know what to do to find the answer

OpenStudy (triciaal):

do you know how to find the volume of a cylinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (triciaal):

do you know how to find the volume of a sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (triciaal):

well do you understand my response now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (triciaal):

my response said find the volume of the cylinder and subtract the volume occupied by the sphere and te difference will be the space occupied by the water.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the volume of a cylinder = pi* r^2* h r is the radius and h is the height

OpenStudy (triciaal):

volume of a sphere is 4/3*pi*r^3

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the diameter is 2 times the radius so the radius of the sphere is diameter/ 2

OpenStudy (triciaal):

do you think you can substitute the numbers and do the calculation now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill try...

OpenStudy (triciaal):

wow that's better!!

OpenStudy (triciaal):

are you going to post? i have to leave soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dunno got nothing
