WHO ELSE HATES MATH LIKE ME!? OR ALGEBRA I SHOULD SAY! UGH!!! :( I NEED A PERSONAL STUDY BUDDY TO HELP ME GET THROUGH THESE TOUGH ?'S :( Brian works in a lab, and fills an empty cylindrical flask with 200 cubic centimeters of liquid. The flask has a radius of 3 cm and a height 12 cm. What percent of the volume of the flask is not filled with liquid? (Use π=3.14 . WHAT IS THE answer rounded to the nearest whole percent.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the total volume of the cylindrical flask using the formula. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the formula :

[tex]v = \pi \times {r}^{2} \times h[/tex]

[tex]let \: \pi = 3.14 \\ let \: r = 3 \\ let \: h = 12[/tex]

[tex]v = 3.14 \times {3}^{2} \times 12[/tex]

[tex]v = 3.14 \times 108[/tex]

[tex]v = 339.12 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

Next, given that 200cm³ of liquid is poured into the cylinder. So in order to find the volume of flask that is not filled by liquid, you have to subtract :

[tex]v = 339.12 - 200 = 139.12 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

Lastly, you have to find the percentage :

[tex] \frac{139.12}{339.12} \times 100 = 41\% \: (near. \: whole \: number)[/tex]
