Question 967724: Two cylindrical containers are shown. Container A has a radius r and a height of h and holds a maximum of 100 ounces of water. Container B has a radius of 4r and a height of 12 h .
What is the maximum amount of water that Container B can hold?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two cylindrical containers are shown. Container A has a radius r and a height of h and holds a maximum of 100 ounces of water. Container B has a radius of 4r and a height of 12 h .
formula for volume of container A is v1 = pi * r^2 * h.
formula for volume of container B is v2 = pi * (4r)^2 * 12h.
simplify formula for container B to get v2 = pi * 16 * r^2 * 12 * h.
simplify further to get v2 = 192 * pi * r^2 * h.
you have v1 = pi * r^2 * h.
you have v2 = 192 * pi * r^2 * h.
the volume for container B is 192 times the volume for container A.
if container A holds 100 ounces of water, then container B should contain 192 * 100 ounces of water which would then be equal to 19,200 ounces of water.
this assumes the ratio of ounces to volume remains the wame.
100 / v1 = x / (192 * v1)
cross multiply to get 100 * 192 * v1 = x * v1
divide both sides of that equation by v1 to get 100 * 192 = x.
