two cylinders have the same volume the first cylinder has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 30 cm The second cylinder has a diameter of 8 cm what is the height of the second cylinders the nearest tenth of a centimer

Solution

Given that two cylinders have the same volume but different dimension

For Cylinder 1

Diameter is 10 cm Height is 30 cm

For Cylinder 1

Diameter is 8 cm Height is h cm

The volume of a cylinder is given as;

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

Since the two cylinders have the same volume,

Since radius = Diameter/2

[tex]\begin{gathered} \pi\times(\frac{10}{2})^2\times30=\pi\times(\frac{8}{2})^2\times h \\ \Rightarrow5^2\times30=4^2\times h \\ \Rightarrow h=\frac{25\times30}{16}\approx46.9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the second cylinder the nearest tenth of a centimeter is 46.9 cm
