help algebra question

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

A cylinder with a radius Rand a height 2R+4 contains a cube with edge length R squared root. What fraction of the cylinder’s volume is taken up by the cube. write your answer in the simplified form

are you answering or just have your curser in the chat box

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am trying to make the pic clear

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

ok

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, what is the volume of the cylinder?

OpenStudy (loser66):

what is the volume of the cube?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

i dont know

OpenStudy (loser66):

what??? you don't know? look up at your note or google, please. I can give you, but I want you find it out by yourself

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

V=3.14(R)^2(2R+4) thats what i know i dont know how to do that

what do u need?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

what fraction of the cylinder is taken up by the cube

OpenStudy (loser66):

what is the volume of the cube?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

v=a^3

OpenStudy (loser66):

=(side)^3 = (R\sqrt 2)^3

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

yeah that all i know

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, so, just make a fraction \(\dfrac{volume~~of~~the~~cylinder}{volume~~of~~the~~cube}=\dfrac{\pi R^2(2R+4)}{R^3\sqrt8}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V_cylinder = (Pi r^2) (2r+4) V_cube = (sqrt(2) r)^3 {I assume that's what you meant.} Fraction = V_cyl / V_cube = (2Pi r^3 + 4Pi r^2) / (2sqrt(2) r^3) = (2Pi r + 4Pi) / 2sqrt(2) r = Pi (r+2) / sqrt(2) r = Pi sqrt(2) (r+2) / 2r Ed: Oops - I inverted this... the correct answer is sqrt(2) r / Pi (r+2)

OpenStudy (loser66):

cancel 2R^2 , you have \(\dfrac{\pi{R+2}{R\sqrt{2}}\)

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

how do i do solve that with the R
