"A cone-shaped paper drinking cup is to be made to hold 30 cm³ of water. Find the height and radius of the cup (in cm) that will use the smallest amount of paper. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)"
To solve this problem, we need to find the height and radius of the cone that will minimize the surface area while holding a fixed volume of 30 cm³.
Here’s the approach:
Step 1: Write the volume and surface area equations.
-
The volume of a cone is given by: where is the radius and is the height.
-
The surface area of the cone is: where the first term is the area of the circular base, and the second term is the area of the slanted surface.
Step 2: Solve for the height in terms of the radius using the volume equation.
We are told the volume is 30 cm³, so: Solving for :
Step 3: Substitute into the surface area equation.
Substitute into the surface area formula:
Step 4: Minimize the surface area.
To minimize the surface area, we differentiate with respect to and set the derivative equal to zero. Solving this will give us the optimal value for , and from there, we can find .
Let me proceed with solving this. sympy import symbols, pi, sqrt, diff, solve
Define variables
r = symbols('r', positive=True)
Equation for the height in terms of r
h = 90 / (pi * r**2)
Surface area of the cone as a function of r
A = pi * r2 + pi * r * sqrt(r2 + h**2)
Differentiate the surface area function with respect to r
A_prime = diff(A, r)
Solve for critical points where the derivative is zero
critical_points = solve(A_prime, r)
critical_pointsThe critical point for minimizing the surface area occurs at a radius given by:
This expression involves constants and roots, so we can compute a numerical value for .
Let's calculate this radius and the corresponding height. Compute the numerical value for r r_value = (2**(5/6) * 45**(1/3)) / (2 * pi**(1/3))
Calculate the corresponding height h using the volume equation
h_value = 90 / (pi * r_value**2)
r_value, h_valueIt seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. If you’d like, I can help explain the general approach to solving the problem or guide you through the steps manually. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
