Asked by Monica

Jim wants to plant pansies in his new planter. How much potting soil should Jim buy? Round to the nearest centimeter.
Hint: The height is 100 cm and the diameter is 40 cm.
My teacher said to use a specific formula. Out of that formula I got 125,664, but I do not know how to label it. Please help. Also, If each bag contains 14,000cm3, how many bags will Jim have to buy?
Please help me I am stuck!!!

100(pi * r^2)
100(3.14 * 20^2) = 125,664 cm^3

125,664/14,000 = ?

Round up to find the number of bags he needs to buy.
