a food company makes regular and tall soup cans. The area of the base of both cans is 5 cm^2. The volume of the regular can is 40cm^3 The tall can is 2 cm taller. What is the volume of the tall soup can?

1st, whats the equation for a cylinder?

anonymous · Answer

$$\pi r ^{2} h$$
or
(Base area)(height)

anonymous · Answer

so. try plugging in the variables you already have.

sorry im working on a test right now and its time give me a couple of mins please,

anonymous · Answer

no problem.

anonymous · Answer

yesterday i got a little busy im so sorry , do you have time to help me now ?

anonymous · Answer

yeah. sure.

anonymous · Answer

okay so what do i do now ?

anonymous · Answer

$$\pi r ^{2} h$$
take this equation and plug in the variables you already know.

anonymous · Answer

so its 5 times 10 ?

anonymous · Answer

plug in the variables to the equation so i can see first.

anonymous · Answer

i meant to put 40 not 10 sorry

anonymous · Answer

the $$\pi r ^{2}$$ is the area of the base btw.

anonymous · Answer

5

anonymous · Answer

because the base area of both cans is 5cm^2

anonymous · Answer

okay. so the equation is$$40=5h$$ right?

anonymous · Answer

yes , and then i do what ?

anonymous · Answer

what do you think? remember, we're trying to isolate the variable here.

anonymous · Answer

do i multiply 40 by 5 or divide it

anonymous · Answer

whatever the action is between the 5 and the h, you do the opposite.

anonymous · Answer

40 divided by 5 = 8

anonymous · Answer

yes! so what is the height of the regular can?

anonymous · Answer

8 ?

anonymous · Answer

yup!

anonymous · Answer

so. what does it say about the regular can versus the large can?

anonymous · Answer

it says the tall can is 2 cm taller what is the volume of the tall soup can ?

anonymous · Answer

well, you need height to find volume. the height is 10 (you did 8+2=10). so what would your equation be? remember, they both have the same base area

anonymous · Answer

idk ? i dont get this stuff at all

anonymous · Answer

$$Volume=Base Area \times height$$ insert your variables! c'mon, you can do it!

anonymous · Answer

10 times 5 ?

anonymous · Answer

yeah. just the other way around is all.

anonymous · Answer

So the answer is 50 ?
