Algebra.Com's Answer #512091 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume of Sphere: \n" ); document.write( "Volume of Cylinder: \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "Subscripts are s for the sphere, and c for the cylinder and these radii may be different values.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sphere: Radius is the given value so no unknowns here. r[s] is known because it is given. \n" ); document.write( "Cylinder: The radius, r[c] here is also given, so it is also known. The unknown is h, the height, which is what you want to solve for.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The volumes of the sphere and the cylinder reformed from it are equal. This means symbolically that \n" ); document.write( "SOLVE FOR h. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "SUBSTITUTE THE GIVEN VALUES. \n" ); document.write( " |
