Question

Julia stores her coffee in a tin container. What would be the HEIGHT of the container below if it can hold 301.44 cubic inches of coffee and the area of the base is 181.6 square inches. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

Assuming that the tin container has the same area from top to bottom, the Volume would be equal to the Area multiplied by the Height, represented by the equation Volume = Area*Height
In this case, we have the Volume and Area and we need to find the Height. This can be represented by the equation Height = Volume/Area.
Using the measurements we are given, Height = 301.44 cubic inches / 181.6 square inches...
So, what is 301.44/181.6? This calculation should give you the height of the container.
