Answer: R = √(3*r^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
For a cylinder with radius r and height H, the volume is:
V = pi*r^2*H
For a cone of height H, and with a base of radius R, the volume is:
V = (1/3)*pi*R^2*H
In this case, we know that both figures have the same height, and the same volume, then we can write:
pi*r^2*H = (1/3)*pi*R^2*H
Now we can divide by pi in both sides to get:
(pi*r^2*H)/pi = ((1/3)*pi*R^2*H)/pi
r^2*H = (1/3)*R^2*H
Now we can divide both sides by H:
(r^2*H)/H = ((1/3)*R^2*H)/H
r^2 = (1/3)*R^2
Now we want to write R in terms of r.
Then we need to isolate R in the above equation:
r^2 = (1/3)*R^2
3*r^2 = R^2
√(3*r^2) = R
R = √(3*r^2)
