Janine made a cylindrical vase in which the sum of the lateral area and area of one base was about 3000 square centimeters. The vase had a height of 50 centimeters. Find the radius of the vase. Explain the method you would use to find the radius.

Question

anonymous · Answer

height of the cylindrical portion h=50-r (r radius of base)
as per the prob 2(pi)(r)(50-r)+(pi)(r)(r)=3000
or (pi)r(100-r)=3000  this being a quadratic can be solved
