radius of water level --- r
height of water level --- h
by ratio:
r/h = 6/8
8r= 6h
r = 3h/5
V = (1/3)πr^2 h
= (1/3)π(9h^2/25)(h)
=3/25)πh^3
dV/dt = (9/25)π h^2 dh/dt
given: when h = 5 , dV/dt = 10
10 = (9/25)π (25) dh/dt
dh/dt = 10/(9π)

Water is poured into a conical tank 6m across the top and 8m deep at the rate of 10m/min. How fast is the water level rising when the water in the tank is 5m deep?

Answer should be 0.9054m/min, 6m across means diameter therefore r=3m,
why is it the answer become 0.905 when you are going to solve it in calculator it will give a results of 0.045
