The axis of the oblique cylinder is equal to the height of the right cylinder.
The axis of the oblique cylinder is equal to the height of the right cylinder.

The radius of the right cylinder = 9 feet
The radius of the right cylinder = 9 feet

The radius of the right cylinder is about 1.7 feet
The radius of the right cylinder is about 1.7 feet

The radius of the right cylinder = 3 feet
The radius of the right cylinder = 3 feet

The oblique cylinder does not have the same volume as the right cylinder with the altitude = the height and the radius the same for both.
The oblique cylinder does not have the same volume as the right cylinder with the altitude = the height and the radius the same for both.

The oblique cylinder and the right cylinder would have the same volume as long as the height = the altitude and they have the same radius.

To find the radius of the right cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

Given that the volume \( V = 90\pi \) cubic feet and height \( h = 10 \) feet, we can set up the equation:

\[ 90\pi = \pi r^2 \times 10 \]

Dividing both sides by \( \pi \):

\[ 90 = r^2 \times 10 \]

Now divide both sides by 10:

\[ r^2 = 9 \]

Taking the square root of both sides:

\[ r = 3 \text{ feet} \]

Now we can evaluate the given statements:

  1. The axis of the oblique cylinder is equal to the height of the right cylinder.

    • This statement is not necessarily true; the oblique cylinder can have a different height.
  2. The radius of the right cylinder = 9 feet.

    • This statement is false because we found the radius to be 3 feet.
  3. The radius of the right cylinder is about 1.7 feet.

    • This statement is false; the radius is 3 feet.
  4. The radius of the right cylinder = 3 feet.

    • This statement is true as calculated.
  5. The oblique cylinder does not have the same volume as the right cylinder with the altitude = the height and the radius the same for both.

    • This statement is false. If the oblique cylinder has the same radius and the same height (altitude), it will indeed have the same volume.
  6. The oblique cylinder and the right cylinder would have the same volume as long as the height = the altitude and they have the same radius.

    • This statement is true.

Therefore, the two true statements are:

  • The radius of the right cylinder = 3 feet.
  • The oblique cylinder and the right cylinder would have the same volume as long as the height = the altitude and they have the same radius.
