Andy has two similar conical hats, Hat A and Hat B. The diameter of Hat A is 18 inches, and the diameter of Hat B is 9 inches. What is the ratio of the volume of Hat A to the volume of Hat B? 2 : 1 16 : 1 4 : 1 8 : 1

i think its C

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the ratio of the diameters is 18:9 which reduces to 2:1 what's the next step here?

OpenStudy (loser66):

@jim_thompson5910 how? since the volume is V =1/3r^2pi h. We don't know h, how can we make up that ratio?|dw:1376947915211:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the cones are similar since it's given at the top

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so each dimension of cone A is double that of cone B

OpenStudy (loser66):

Thank you, I got it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the answer isn't 2:1 just so you know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not 4 :1 either

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's for the surface area, but it's closer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with another??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure, I can help with a few

Thank You!!!!

A company that manufactures storage bins for grains made a drawing of a silo. The silo has a conical base, as shown below. The figure shows a silo shaped as a closed cylinder with a conical end. The diamenter of the silo is 4 ft, the length of the cylindrical part is 8 ft, and the entire length of the silo is 9.5 ft. What is the total volume of grains that can be stored in the silo? 34π ft3 68π ft3 136π ft3 152π ft3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: break up the silo into two parts: a cylinder (on top) and a cone (on bottom) find the two volumes, then add them up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im very HORRIBLE at math! js

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well this is why you practice, you'll get better

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the silo breaks up into these two figures |dw:1376949852233:dw|
