Question

Given the height,h, and the volume v of a certain cylinder. Alex uses the formula

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

r = sqrt(v) / (pi*h)

10 = sqrt(v) /(pi * h)

Solve for the volume by multiplying by pi * h on each side

10 * pi * h = sqrt(v)

Now square each side

(10*pi* h) ^2 = v

Now we have a second cylinder with a height that is 25 times the height of the other cylinder  but the same volume.  Solving for volume, we will multiply by

r = sqrt(v) / (pi*h)

r = sqrt(v) /(pi *25h)

r* pi * 25h = sqrt(v)

Now square each side

(r*pi*25h) ^2 = (sqrtv) ^2

(r*pi*25h)^2 = v

The problem states the the 2 cylinders have the same volume

(10 * pi * h) ^2 =  ( r * pi * 25h) ^2

Take the square root of each side

10*pi*h = r*pi * 25h

Divide each side by pi and h

10 = 25r

Divide by 25

10/25 =r

2/5 =r
