Question

The cylinder and the sphere below have the same radius and the same volume. What is the height of the cylinder?

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of cylinder (h) = (4/3)R

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of cylinder (r1) = R

Height of cylinder (h) = H

Radius of sphere (r2) = R

Volume of cylinder = volume of sphere

Find:

Height of cylinder (h) = H = ?

Computation:

$Volume\ of\ cylinder = volume\ of\ sphere\\\\ \pi (r1)^2h =\frac{4}{3} \pi (r2)^3\\\\\pi (R)^2h =\frac{4}{3} \pi (R)^3\\\\ h=\frac{4}{3} (R)$

Height of cylinder (h) = (4/3)R
