Find the number of coins, 1.5 cm in diameter and 0.2 cm thick, to be melted to form a right circular cylinder with a height of 10 cm and a diameter of 4.5 cm.
Volume of coin = r2h =
Volume of cylinder = r2h =
Therefore,
Total number of coins =
=
= 450 coins
Thus, 450 coins must be melted to form the required cylinder
