The stick inside the cyllinder, cyllinder side and diameter create a right angle triangle

You can use pythagorean theorem to find the length of the stick inside the cyllinder

Then subtract the result from the total length of the stick

@weak juniper

[weak juniper]

is the answer 21 cm

@alpine prism

[alpine prism]

No

How did you set it up

[weak juniper]

so

the first right angle triangle world be base=8 and side =6

right?

[alpine prism]

No, wrong triangle

[weak juniper]

but how do you work out the length of the stick then

[alpine prism]

What's the diameter?

[weak juniper]

16

[alpine prism]

16 correct

What's the cyllinder side length aka height?

[weak juniper]

12

[alpine prism]

Those are your two triangle sides

The third side is the hypotenuse made by the part of the stick inside the cyllinder

[weak juniper]

oh i see

thank you

so the answer is 20 cm

[alpine prism]

Like that yeah

[weak juniper]

thank u very much

[alpine prism]

20 is the length inside the cyllinder correct

But

The question asks for the length outside

[weak juniper]

oh

then 5 cm

[alpine prism]

So stick length - 20

[weak juniper]

because its 25 in total

[alpine prism]

Yep

[weak juniper]

thanks man

u were very helfull

[alpine prism]

Np

My pleasure
