Which container holds the most?

1 answer:

6 0

Cylinder:

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 9^2 * 11

Simplify exponent:

V = 3.14 * 81 * 11

Multiply:

V = 2797.74

Sphere:

V = 4/3 * pi * r^3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 9^3

Simplify exponent:

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 729

Multiply:

V = 3052.08

Cone:

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 12^2 * 20

Simplify exponent:

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 144 * 20

Multiply:

V = 3014.4

So the Sphere holds the most.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to S=pi r^2 h

lara31 [8.8K]

The equation that is equivalent to S=pi r^2 h is h = S/pir^2

<h3>Subject of formula</h3>

This is a way of representing a variable with another. Given the equation

S=pi r^2 h

We are to make 'h" the subject of the formula.

Divide both sides by pir^2

S/pir^2 =pi r^2 h/pir^2

h = S/pir^2

Hence the equation that is equivalent to S=pi r^2 h is h = S/pir^2
