If a cylinder with a circumference of 10 and a height of 4 and a cone have the same volume, then the radius and height of the cone could be which of these?

Question

A. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 4
B. radius of the cone = 15; height of the cone = 12
C. radius of the cone = 15; height of the cone = 4
D. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 12

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to first calculate the volume of the cylinder and the cone using the formulas:

Volume of a cylinder = πr^2h
Volume of a cone = (1/3)πr^2h

Given that the circumference of the cylinder is 10, we can calculate the radius of the cylinder using the formula for circumference:

Circumference of a cylinder = 2πr
10 = 2πr
5 = πr
r = 5/π

Now, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder:

Volume of cylinder = π(5/π)^2 * 4
Volume of cylinder = 25π * 4
Volume of cylinder = 100π

Since the volume of the cylinder and cone are the same, we can set up an equation:

100π = (1/3)πr^2h

Now, we can test each option to see which one satisfies the equation:

A. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 4
Volume of cone = (1/3)π*5^2*4 = 100π (satisfies the equation)

B. radius of the cone = 15; height of the cone = 12
Volume of cone = (1/3)π*15^2*12 = 900π (does not satisfy the equation)

C. radius of the cone = 15; height of the cone = 4
Volume of cone = (1/3)π*15^2*4 = 300π (does not satisfy the equation)

D. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 12
Volume of cone = (1/3)π*5^2*12 = 100π (satisfies the equation)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 4
D. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 12

Answer 2

you can only choose 1 option as the answer

Answer 3

In that case, the correct answer is:

A. radius of the cone = 5; height of the cone = 4
