Question
Suppose a sphere, cylinder, and cone all share the same radius and the cylinder and cone also share the same height, which is twice the radius. Which of the following is true about the relationship between the volume formulas for the sphere, cylinder, and cone?(1 point)
Responses

1 cylinder = 2 cones + 1 sphere
1 cylinder = 2 cones + 1 sphere

sphere = cylinder + cone
sphere = cylinder + cone

sphere - cone = cylinder
sphere - cone = cylinder

3 cones = 1 cylinder
3 cones = 1 cylinder

To analyze the volumes of a sphere, cylinder, and cone with the given dimensions, we can use the following formulas:

  1. Volume of a sphere: \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \)
  2. Volume of a cylinder: \( V = \pi r^2 h \)
  3. Volume of a cone: \( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \)

Given:

  • The radius \( r \) is the same for all three shapes.
  • The height \( h \) of the cylinder and cone is \( 2r \).

Calculating the volumes:

  1. Volume of the cylinder: \[ V_{cylinder} = \pi r^2 (2r) = 2\pi r^3 \]

  2. Volume of the cone: \[ V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]

  3. Volume of the sphere: \[ V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]

Relationships between the volumes:

Now, comparing the volumes:

  • Volume of the cone in terms of the cylinder: \[ V_{cylinder} = 2 V_{cone} \] because \( V_{cone} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \) hence \( 2 V_{cone} = 2 \times \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \) which equals \( V_{sphere} \).

  • From this, we can also see: \[ V_{cylinder} = V_{sphere} + V_{cone} \]

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct relationship among the given options is: \[ 1 , \text{cylinder} = 2 , \text{cones} + 1 , \text{sphere} \]

So, the correct response is:

1 cylinder = 2 cones + 1 sphere.
