Hannah loves to read. She read 2 pages of a book in a bookstore before she bought it. She graphs her progress on the book since she bought it and continued reading it. What is her rate of change?

1 page per minute
3 pages per minute
2 pages per minute
8 pages per minute

The answer is: 2 pages per minute

Ok so the end equation here is going to be VCy-VCo=
air space. So we need to find the volume of the cone and the volume of the cylinder.

Lets start with the volume of the cylinder since its easiest. The volume of a cylinder is Pi*r^2*h = Volume.
We already know that the radius is 5 and the height is 16 so lets plug them in and solve. 3.14*5^2*16=1,256

Now lets solve to find the volume of the cone. Now this ones a bit harder, the equation is: Pi*r^2*(h/3)= Volume.
The radius is 4 and the height is 12, so now just solve! 3.14*4^2*(12/3)=201

Now we just need to subtract the Volume of the cylinder from the volume of the cone. 1,256-201=1,055

If you have any questions just ask!
