Celeste made 6 cone-shaped ice blocks that each have radius of 2.8 in. and a height of 7 in. She used a cylindrical container with a radius of 9 in. to fill all of the cones. What is the height of the cylindrical container? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and round your answer to two decimal places. Show your work.

6.53->

anonymous · Answer

the -> = infinity

twizttiez · Answer

Ohhh can you tell me how you got it?

anonymous · Answer

ok, sure

anonymous · Answer

basically, you have 6 cones, which are half of real cylinders

anonymous · Answer

now, the cones have a 2.8 radius, which you multiply by 3.14, and then multiply again by 7, to get the volume of each cylinder

anonymous · Answer

then divide by 2 to make it the volume of a cone, and multiply by 6, because you have 6 cones

anonymous · Answer

now you know that the volume of all the cones combined is 184.632 in. cubed

anonymous · Answer

now take the radius of the big cylinder, which is 9 in. and multiply it by 3.14

anonymous · Answer

it should equal 28.26

anonymous · Answer

that is the area of the circle at the botom of the cylinder
28.26 in. squared

anonymous · Answer

now, take the 184.632, and divide it by 28.26, and voila, you have 6.53 inches, which is the hieght of the cylinder
