Answer
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsIdentify the dimensions of the conical container.
The base radius of the conical container is .
The height of the conical container is .Calculate the volume of water in the conical container.
The formula for the volume of a cone is .
Identify the dimensions of the cylindrical container.
The radius of the cylindrical container is .
Let the depth of water in the cylinder be .Equate the volume of water from the cone to the volume of water in the cylinder.
When the water from the cone is emptied into the cylinder, the volume of water remains the same.
The formula for the volume of water in the cylinder is .
So, .Substitute the cylinder's radius and solve for the depth of water ().
Divide both sides by :
The depth of water in the cylinder is .
