The volume of a cylinder is given by formula V= pi(3.14) r^2h where r is base radius and h is height

a) the height of a cylinder of radius 5cm and volume 500. Cm^3

B) radius of base of a cylinder of volume 300 cm^3 and height 10 cm
Our teacher didn't really start explaining this but wants us to try ourselves, i wAnt to have an idea about these

V = π r^2 h

a) you are given V = 500 , r = 5 ,so you are missing the h
just plug in the values

500 = π (25) h
divide both sides by 25Ï€
500/(25Ï€) = h
h = 20/π or appr 6.37 ( if you use 3.14 or π)

in B , you are missing the value of r
Ï€ r^2 (10) = 300
divide by 10
Ï€r^2 = 30
divide by π
r^2 = 30/Ï€
take square root of both sides

r = √(30/π)

you do the button-pushing.

a) To find the height of the cylinder, we can rearrange the formula V = πr^2h. Given that V = 500 cm^3 and r = 5 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for h:

500 = π(5^2)h
500 = 25Ï€h
h = 500 / (25Ï€)
h ≈ 20 / π
h ≈ 6.37 cm

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is approximately 6.37 cm.

b) To find the radius of the base of the cylinder, we can rearrange the formula V = πr^2h. Given that V = 300 cm^3 and h = 10 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for r:

300 = πr^2(10)
300 = 10Ï€r^2
r^2 = 300 / (10Ï€)
r^2 = 30 / π
r ≈ √(30 / π)
r ≈ √(30 / 3.14)
r ≈ √9.55
r ≈ 3.09 cm

Therefore, the radius of the base of the cylinder is approximately 3.09 cm.

To solve these problems, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = π * r^2 * h, where V represents the volume, r represents the radius of the base, and h represents the height.

a) Finding the height:
Given:
- Radius (r) = 5 cm
- Volume (V) = 500 cm^3

To find the height (h), we can rearrange the formula and solve for h:
V = π * r^2 * h
500 = π * 5^2 * h
500 = 25Ï€ * h

Divide both sides of the equation by 25Ï€ to isolate h:
h = 500 / (25Ï€)
h ≈ 8 cm (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the height of a cylinder with a radius of 5 cm and a volume of 500 cm^3 is approximately 8 cm.

b) Finding the radius:
Given:
- Volume (V) = 300 cm^3
- Height (h) = 10 cm

To find the radius (r), we rearrange the formula and solve for r:
V = π * r^2 * h
300 = π * r^2 * 10

Divide both sides of the equation by 10Ï€ to isolate r:
r^2 = 300 / (10Ï€)
r^2 ≈ 9.549 (rounded to three decimal places)

To find the radius (r), we take the square root of both sides of the equation:
r ≈ √(9.549)
r ≈ 3.09 cm (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the radius of a cylinder with a volume of 300 cm^3 and a height of 10 cm is approximately 3.09 cm.
