A worker puts a cylinder which has the base of 20cm^2 into a container which is a rectangular prism (a=6 cm, b=15 cm, h=7 cm). There is a lot of water in it, but not the full of the container. When he puts the cylinder in it, the water level rises 3 cm. What is the height of the cylinder?
the volume of the rising water:
a*b*rising height
=6*15*3
=270 cm^3
it is also the volume of the cylinder
the height of the cylinder:
270/20
=13.5 cm
