mathstudent55 · Answer

First, find the volume of each cylinder.

$\large V_{cylinder}= \pi r^2 h$

mathstudent55 · Answer

Since you are given the diameter of the cylinder, remember to divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius to use in the formula.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Then once you know the volume of one cylinder, divide the volume of the solid block by the volume of one cylinder. Then round the quotient UP to the next higher whole number.
