Question 515543: what is the longest diameter of a sphere that fits inside a cylinder?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the cylinder is a right circular cylinder, the largest sphere will have a diameter equal to the diameter of the cylinder, or the height if the height is less than the cylinder's diameter. In either case, the radius would be equal to the radius of the cylinder or half the height, whichever is smaller.
