Stephanie wants to transfer the soil from a rectangular pot measuring 4 inches 5 inches 3 inches into a cylindershaped pot. The soil in both pots should be leveled to the top. What should be the volume of the cylindrical pot?

Respuesta :

rectangular pot measuring 4 inches x 5 inches x 3 inches,So,

Volume = 4 x 5 x 3 = 60 inch^3,

and

volume of cylinder = 60 inch^3,

Let,

radius = height = h inches,

So,

pi x h^2 x h = 60, ==> h^3 = 60/pi = 19.0986 inches^3

So,

radius = height = (19.0986)^1/3 = 2.673 inches
