A tank is made up of a cylinder with a hemisphere stuck to either side.
The capacity (internal volume) of the tank is 81(pi) cm cubed.
The ratio of the capacity of the cylinder to the capacity of the 2 hemispheres combined is 5:4.
Calculate the internal radius length?
:
Let r = the radius
:
The volume equation
:
2 hemispheres + cylinder = total volume
= cu/cm
factor out
= cu/cm
get rid of the denominator, multiply by 3, results:
4r^3 + 3r^2*h = 3(81)
4r^3 + 3r^2*h = 243
:
"The ratio of the capacity of the cylinder to the capacity of the 2 hemispheres combined is 5:4."
=
cross multiply
4(3r^2h) = 5(4r^3)
12r^2h = 20r^3
divide both sides by r^2
12h = 20r
h = =
:
4r^3 + 3r^2*h = 243
replace h
4r^3 + 3r^2* = 243
Cancel 3
4r^3 + r^2*5r = 243
4r^3 + 5r^3 = 243
9r^3 = 243
Divide both sides by 9
r^3 = 27
Find the cube root of 27
r = 3 cm is the radius
:
:
See if this is true
find h: h=
h = 5 cm is the height
=
36 + 45 = 81; confirms our solution of r = 3
