99l of oil is poured into a cylindrical drum 69cm in diameter. How deep is the oil in the drum?

1 answer

First, we need to find the volume of the cylinder:

V = πr²h

r = 69/2 = 34.5 cm
V = π(34.5)²h
V = 39507.75h

Next, we need to convert the volume of oil from liters to cubic centimeters:

99 liters = 99000 cubic centimeters

Now we can set up an equation to solve for h:

39507.75h = 99000
h = 99000/39507.75
h = 2.5 cm

Therefore, the oil is 2.5 cm deep in the drum.
