The dimensions of the can are 1.457 inches and 2.913 inches that will give the most volume
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the rule of surface area and volume of a cylinder
- S.A = 2π r h + 2π r²
- V = π r² h
Forty square inches of material is available to make a cylindrical; can of tuna and water, we need to find the dimensions of the can that will give the most volume
∵ S.A = 40 inches²
∵ S.A = 2π r h + 2π r²
∴ 2π r h + 2π r² = 40
Let us use this rule to find h in terms of r
- Subtract 2π r² from both sides
∵ 2π r h = 40 - 2 π r²
- Divide both sides by 2π r
∴
∴
∴
∵ V = π r² h
- Substitute h by its value above
∴
∴ V = 20 r - π r³
To find the most volume differentiate it with respect to r and equate it by 0 to find the value of r
∵ = 20 - 3π r²
∵ = 0
∴ 20 - 3π r² = 0
- Add 3π r² to both sides
∴ 20 = 3π r²
- Divide both sides by 3π
∴ r² = 2.122
- Take √ for both sides
∴ r = 1.457 inches
To find h substitute the value of r in the expression of h
∵
∴
∴ h = 2.913 inches
The dimensions of the can are 1.457 inches and 2.913 inches that will give the most volume
