What would the approximate diagonal through the cylinder be in inches if the radius of the cylinder is 7 inches and the height of the cylinder is 12 inches?

(4 points)

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4 answer

:: Double the radius to get the diameter = 14 in

::

Use Pythagorean Theorem with the height 12 in and the diameter 14in - 12 ^ 2 + 14 ^ 2 = d ^ 2

::Simplify to get: d ^ 2 = 340

Answer - d \approx 18.4

Use the Pythagorean Theorem with the height 12 in and the radius 7in - 12 ^ 2 + 7 ^ 2 = d ^ 2

::Simplify to get: d ^ 2 = 193

Answer - d = 96.5

::Answer - d = 170

Square the radius to get the diameter = 49 in

::

Use Pythagorean Theorem with the height 12 in and the diameter 49in - 12 ^ 2 + 49 ^ 2 = d ^ 2

:: Simplify the equation to get d ^ 2 = 2545

Answer - d \approx 50.4
