Q. Anya has two different sized cylindrical coffee mugs. The larger mug has an internal height of 15 centimeters (cm), and the smaller mug has an internal height of 10cm. Both mugs have an internal diameter of 8cm. Which of the following is closest to the difference in cubic centimeters (cm3) between the internal volume of the larger mug and the internal volume of the smaller mug?Choose 1 answer:(A) 63cm3(B) 251cm3(C) 754cm3(D) 1,005cm3
Calculate Volume: First, we need to calculate the volume of each mug. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. The radius is half the diameter, so for both mugs, the radius is 8cm/2=4cm.
Volume of Larger Mug: Now, let's calculate the volume of the larger mug using the formula. The height of the larger mug is 15cm. Volume of larger mug = π×(4cm)2×15cm
Volume of Smaller Mug: Perform the calculation for the larger mug:Volume of larger mug = π×16 cm2×15 cmVolume of larger mug = π×240 cm3
Find Difference: Next, calculate the volume of the smaller mug. The height of the smaller mug is 10cm. Volume of smaller mug = π×(4cm)2×10cm
Simplify Difference: Perform the calculation for the smaller mug:Volume of smaller mug = π×16cm2×10cmVolume of smaller mug = π×160cm3
Calculate Numerical Value: Now, we find the difference in volume between the two mugs:Difference in volume = Volume of larger mug - Volume of smaller mugDifference in volume = π×240cm3−π×160cm3
Compare with Options: Simplify the difference in volume:Difference in volume = π×(240cm3−160cm3)Difference in volume = π×80cm3
Compare with Options: Simplify the difference in volume:Difference in volume = π×(240cm3−160cm3)Difference in volume = π×80cm3Since π is approximately 3.14159, we can now calculate the numerical value of the difference in volume:Difference in volume ≈3.14159×80cm3Difference in volume ≈251.3272cm3
Compare with Options: Simplify the difference in volume:Difference in volume = π×(240cm3−160cm3)Difference in volume = π×80cm3Since π is approximately 3.14159, we can now calculate the numerical value of the difference in volume:Difference in volume ≈3.14159×80cm3Difference in volume ≈251.3272cm3Looking at the options provided, the closest value to our calculated difference in volume is 251cm3, which corresponds to option (B).
