Question

Could someone please help me with this? Will fan.

A package of modeling clay was shaped like a cone with a radius of 24 cm and a height of 6 cm. Miriam used all the clay to make a cylinder with a radius of 16 cm.

What was the height of the cylinder?
Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your final answer in tenths.

Answer 1

V of cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 *h

Answer 2

now this is equal to the volume of the cylinder

Answer 3

@--Irwin are u getting it?

Answer 4

V of cylinder = pi * radius^2 * height
equating above two we will get height for this culinder

Answer 5

erm, I'm sorta getting what your saying

Answer 6

pi/3*24*24*6 = pi* 16 * 16 * H of cylinder.

Answer 7

can u solve this? @--Irwin

Answer 8

yea, one sec lemme work it out

Answer 9

@- you got it probably

Answer 10

3617.28 = 803.84 that's without the height because I don't really see how to get it and it isn't in the question. . . .

Answer 11

see i tell u.

Answer 12

\[\pi/3*24*24*6 = \pi*16*16*H\]
\[1/3*24*24*6 = 16*16*H\]
so H = 1/3*24*24*6*1/16*1/16

Answer 13

H = 4.5 cm

Answer 14

@--Irwin u got it now.

Answer 15

ohh, okay yea that makes more sense to me now. Thank you for your help! :)
