Each penny is 0.75 inches in diameter and 0.061 inches thick. If the cylindrical glass jar containing the pennies has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 11.5 inches, how many pennies can fit inside the jar?
Each penny is 0.75 inches in diameter 0.061 inches thick If pennies has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 11.5 inches Cylinder: Diameter-6 in/ Height 11.5 in
V=3.14(r²)h
3.14(3²) (11.5)
3.14*9 (11.5) Volume=324.99
Pennies Diameter-0.75 in/ Height .061 V=3.14(r²)h
3.14(.375²)(0.061)
3.14*.140625 (.061)
4415625*.061
Volume=0.0269353125
324.99/0.0269353125= 12,065
pennies(approximately)
12,065 Pennies can fit in the cylinder hope this helps
