Given:
h = 9
r = 5
Determine the voume of water if it fills half of the cylinder.
Formula for the volume of cylinder:
V=πr^2h
Solution:
Substitute the values of r and h to the formula for the volume of cylinder.
V=π(5in)^2(9in)
V=π(25in^2)(9in)
V=225πin^3
V =706.86 in^3
Since the water fills half of the cylinder, we will divide the total volume of the cylinder by two in order to get the volume of the water.
V of water =706.86 in^3 /2
V of water =353.43
Final answer:
V of water =353.43
