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
