Question 1014141: I am trying to determine the diameter of a cylinder with the requirement that the diameter at one end is 10% larger than the smaller end. How do I calculate it if the length of the cylinder is equal to larger diameter or if the length of the cylinder varies from half to triple the diameter?
for example R1 = 10 R2 = x h = 10
R1 = 10 R2 = X h = 5
R1 = 10 R2 = x h = 18

Hello,


your body is not a cylinder.


Your body is a cone. More exactly, a truncated cone.


If you want the greater diameter be in 10% larger than the smaller diameter, then take D = 1.1*d, 


where D is the greater diameter, and d = is a smaller diameter.

-------------------------------------------------
Comment from student: Thank you for your answer, however it doesn't answer the full question.
If the cone is 10 inches in height and the large end is 10 inches the smaller end is 9 inches if the large end is 10 inches
and the cone is 20 inches the smaller end is ?

My response: Your comment sounds as if it are you examine me.

It is not so.

Please make an effort and solve it yourself. It is so easy.
