A sphere has a radius of length .
Three containers of the same height were filled with water at the same rate. One container is a cylinder, one is a cone, and one is a sphere.
As they were filled, the relationship between the volume of water and the height of the water was recorded in different ways, shown here:
| volume (in3) | height (in) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 8.38 | 1 |
| 29.32 | 2 |
| 56.55 | 3 |
| 83.76 | 4 |
| 104.72 | 5 |
| 113.04 | 6 |
| 120 | 6 |
| 200 | 6 |
Graph the relationship between the volume of water poured into the cylinder and the height of water in the cylinder on the same axes as the cone. What does the slope of this line represent?
