Math Problem Statement

Find the missing heights of the solid cylinders below. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Volumes are given for three cylinders with known diameters.

Solution

To solve these problems, we'll use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h

Where:

  • VV is the volume,
  • rr is the radius of the cylinder's base,
  • hh is the height.

Let's solve each part step by step.

Part (i)

  • Given: Volume V=7m3V = 7 \, \text{m}^3 and diameter d=2.5md = 2.5 \, \text{m},
  • The radius r=d2=2.52=1.25mr = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2.5}{2} = 1.25 \, \text{m}.

We need to find the height hh. Rearranging the volume formula to solve for hh:

h=Vπr2h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}

Substituting the values:

h=7π(1.25)2h = \frac{7}{\pi (1.25)^2}

Part (ii)

  • Given: Volume V=35,000cm3V = 35,000 \, \text{cm}^3 and diameter d=35cmd = 35 \, \text{cm},
  • The radius r=d2=352=17.5cmr = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5 \, \text{cm}.

Now solve for the height hh as:

h=35,000π(17.5)2h = \frac{35,000}{\pi (17.5)^2}

Part (iii)

  • Given: Volume V=0.3m3V = 0.3 \, \text{m}^3 and diameter d=100cm=1md = 100 \, \text{cm} = 1 \, \text{m},
  • The radius r=d2=12=0.5mr = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \, \text{m}.

Using the same formula:

h=0.3π(0.5)2h = \frac{0.3}{\pi (0.5)^2}

I'll calculate these values for you now.The missing heights of the cylinders are as follows:

  1. Part (i): Height h=1mh = 1 \, \text{m}
  2. Part (ii): Height h=36cmh = 36 \, \text{cm}
  3. Part (iii): Height h=0mh = 0 \, \text{m} (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Let me know if you need more details or clarifications!

Here are some related questions for further practice:

  1. What is the formula for the surface area of a cylinder?
  2. How does changing the radius affect the volume of a cylinder?
  3. How would you find the height of a cylinder if both volume and surface area are given?
  4. If the radius of a cylinder doubles, how does the volume change?
  5. How would you solve the height if the volume is given in liters instead of cubic meters?

Tip: Always ensure units are consistent when solving problems involving volume, surface area, or height!
