volume =
\[\pi r^2h\] yes
OpenStudy (amistre64):
and surface area = 2pi r^2 + 2pi rh
OpenStudy (amistre64):
use the surface area to determine the value of one variable in terms of the other; and derive the volume
OpenStudy (anonymous):
surface area is
\[4\pi r^2+2\pi r h=450\]
OpenStudy (amistre64):
2(p r^2) = 2pi r^2 maybe?

solve second one for h, plug into first one to get an equation in one varaible
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh of course you are right. it is
\[2\pi r^2+2\pi r h\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
back to the dungeon for me
OpenStudy (amistre64):
and take the mop with you :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets see if i can do next part right
\[h=\frac{450-2 \pi r^2}{2 \pi r}=\frac{225}{\pi r}-r\]

making
\[V(r)=\pi r^2 (\frac{225}{\pi r}-r)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[V(r)=225r-\pi r^3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take the derivative, set = 0, solve for r and be done
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i get
\[V'(r)=225-3\pi r^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put
\[225-3 \pi r^2=0\]
\[r^2=\frac{225}{3\pi}=\frac{75}{\pi}\]

and therefore
\[r=\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{\pi}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is your max
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean it will give you the max volume
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cool thnx
OpenStudy (anonymous):

that answer seems a bit contrived dontch think ;)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i was wondering well i hve the answer just not the wrking itss bh=9.6 cm & r= 4.8 cm
OpenStudy (amistre64):
then its good :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*its not bh it h=9.6 cm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
kk gracias
