Question

Two pillars have been delivered for the support of a shade structure in the backyard. they are both ten feet tall and the cross sections of each pillar have the same area. explain how you know these pillars have the same volume without knowing whether the pillars are the same shape.

Answer 1

The steps to determine whether the pillars have the same volume are;

First, we must know that the volume of an object of uniform surface area is the product of its Area and height.

The uniform area of each pillar is then evaluated and if equal;

Both pillars can be concluded to have the same volume.

We must first recall that for various shapes, the volume of the shape is a function of its height.

For example: a A cylinderical pillar and a rectangular prism pillar;

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a Cuboid = l × w × h

Since h = h.

Therefore, for both pillars to have the same volume; their Areas must be equal.

πr² = l × w
