Let the cylinder have height h and radius r. Using similar triangles,
(20-h)/r = 20/80 = 1/4
h = 20 - r/4
v = 4πr^2 h = 4πr^2 (20-r/4) = 80πr^2 - πr^3
dv/dr = 160πr - 3πr^2 = πr(160=3r)
r = 160/3
In general, maximum volume is when r = 2/3 R (radius of cone)
so now use that to find v
(20-h)/r = 20/80 = 1/4
h = 20 - r/4
v = 4πr^2 h = 4πr^2 (20-r/4) = 80πr^2 - πr^3
dv/dr = 160πr - 3πr^2 = πr(160=3r)
r = 160/3
In general, maximum volume is when r = 2/3 R (radius of cone)
so now use that to find v
