Answer:

Correct answer:  Vf = 38 π

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Vc = 54 π

The ratio of the height of the cone and the height of the frustum is:

Hc : Hf = 3 : 1  ⇒ Hc = 3 · Hf

The ratio of the radius R of the base of the cone to the radius r of the upper base of the frustum is:

R : r = Hc : (Hc - Hf)  ⇒ R : r = (3· Hf) : (3 · Hf - Hf) ⇒ R : r = 3 · Hf : 2 · Hf

R : r = 3 : 2 ⇒  r = (2/3) · R

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is:

Vc = (R² · π · Hc) / 3 = (R² · π · 3 · Hf) / 3 = R² · π · Hf

The formula for calculating the volume of a frustum is:

Vf = (π · Hf · (R² + R · r + r²)) / 3 = (π · Hf · (R² + R · (2/3) · R + ((2/3) R)²)) / 3

Vf = (π · Hf · (R² + (2/3) ·R² + (4/9) · R²)) / 3 ⇒

Vf = (π · Hf · ( (9/9)R² + (6/9) ·R² + (4/9) · R²)) / 3 ⇒

Vf = (π · Hf · (19/9) · R²) / 3 = (19/27) · R² · π · Hf

Vc / Vf = (R² · π · Hf) / ((19/27) · R² · π · Hf)

R², π and Hf were shortened and we get:

Vc / Vf = 27 / 19  ⇒  Vf = (19 · Vc) / 27 ⇒

Vf = 19 · 54 · π / 27 = 38 π

Vf = 38 π

Oduvanchick [21]
Nickels is 0,05 of dolar - n
dimes is 0,1 o dolar -d
quarters is 0,25 of dolar -q
dimes =2nickels
d=2n
quarters=2dimes
q=2d=4n
12,5=n(0,05)+2n(0,1)+4n(0,25)
12,5=0,05n+0,2n+n
12,5=1,25n
n=10
q=4n=40
There are 40 quarters
