The milk pitcher shown is a right prism. The base has an area of 40cm squared and the height of the pitcher is 26cm. will the pitcher hold 1L of milk.
+259 So lets see
Given informations:
area of the Base: 40 cm ^2 = 0.004 m^2
heigh: 26 cm = 0.26 m
right prism, which gives us the information to the following formula:
Volume = area of the Base * heigh of the prism
What im looking for:
Voluminum of the right prism
So we just take the formula:
Volume = area of the Base * heigh of the prism
put in the given informations:
Volume = 0.004 m^2 * 0.26m
= 0.00104m^3
Now to know if this is the right size to hold one liter of milk, we once again need to convert the cubic meters into liter.
1 Cubic Meter = 1 000 Liters
0.00104m^3 = 1.039999999999999813 Liters
So jea, it works.
