Question

very confused with this one. Someone please help!



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

determine volume of cone; and since volume remains constant, determine the parts ofr the volume of a cylindar and solve for h

Answer 2

whats the formula for the volume of a cone?

Answer 3

1/3 pi r^2 h

Answer 4

good, and that of a cylindar?

Answer 5

I don't know that one. Do you mind telling me so I can write it down?

Answer 6

its just the cone without the 1/3: volume of cylindar is just, pi r^2h



1/3 pi (r1)^2 (h1) = pi (r2)^2 (h2); dividing by pi cancels out the common factor so i dont even know why you would need to approximate it

1/3 (r1)^2 (h1) = (r2)^2 (h2) ; now divide off the (r2)^2

1/3 (r1/r2)^2 (h1) = (h2)

Answer 7

wht does that look like when we fill in the parts?
