Answer:

radius = height ≈ 8.88 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the weight is proportional to the surface area, then we need to find the minimum surface area for the given volume.

The volume of the can is given by ...

V = πr²h . . . . . . for radius r and height h

The surface area includes that of the bottom and the sides:

SA = πr² +2πrh

Solving the first equation for h, we can write the second equation as ...

SA = πr² +2πr(V/(πr²)) = πr² +2V/r

The minimum area for the volume will be found where the derivative is zero.

d(SA)/dr = 2πr -2V/r² = 0

πr³ = V . . . . . multiply by r²/2 and add V

Then the can radius is ...

r = ∛(V/π)

and the height is ...

h = V/(π(V/π)^(2/3)) = ∛(V/π) = r

For the given volume, the dimensions are ...

r = h = ∛(2197/π) ≈ 8.8762 cm

The lightest can with that volume has a radius and height of about 8.88 cm.

<em>Comment on cylinder aspect ratio</em>

You may notice that the lateral area is equal to twice the bottom area for this cylinder. If the can had a top, the minimum weight would be such that the lateral area is twice the total of top and bottom area. In that case, the height is equal to the diameter, not the radius.

Allushta [10]

Euler's formula is given by:
C + V = A + 2
Where,
C: number of faces
V: number of vertices
A: number of edges.
Clearing A we have:
A = C + V-2
Substituting values:
A = 21 + 14-2
A = 33
Answer:
the missing number is:
C.33

At camp in Green Bay, Wisconsin, 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin. Of that group 3/5 were 12 years old. What fraction

In-s [12.5K]

Since the problem stated that 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin, so 2/9 of it were not from Wisconsin. Now out of 7/9 participants, 3/5 of them were 12 years old, so 2/5 of them are not 12 years old. Since we now know the fractions, we'll get the equation 7/9 x 3/5 multiply 7 and 3 then divide it to the product of 9 and 5 to have the answer of 7/15. 7/15 of the participants of the camp in Green Bay is from Wisconsin and are 12 years old.

What does m equal 2+2m=6

Lorico [155]

2 + 2m = 6 equals m = 2.

First, subtract 2 from both sides. Your problem should look like: 2m = 6 - 2.
Second, simplify 6 - 2 to get 4. Your problem should look like: 2m = 4.
Third, divide both sides by 2. Your problem should look like: m = $\frac{4}{2}$
Fourth, simplify $\frac{4}{2}$ to 2. Your problem should look like: m = 2, which is the answer.
