a circular cylinder with a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 27 cm is filled with water. An aquarium is in the shaoe of a rectangular prism with the dimensions 35 cm 40cm by 42cm. what isvthe maximum number of full cylinders that can be poured into the fish tank without overflowing it?

Respuesta :

Given data:

The diameter of cylinder is d=12 cm.

The height of the cylinder is h= 27 cm.

The dimension of the aquarium is V=(35 cm)(40 cm)( 42 cm).

The volume of the cylinder is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} V^{\prime}=\frac{\pi}{4}(d)^2h \\ =\frac{\pi}{4}(12cm)^2(27\text{ cm)} \\ =3053.628cm^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The volume of the aquarium is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=(35\text{ cm)(40 cm)(42 cm)} \\ =58800cm^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The number of cylinders that can be pour into aquarium is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{V}{V^{\prime}} \\ =\frac{58800}{3053.628} \\ =19.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the number of cylinders that can be pour into aquarium is 19.25.
