A cylindrical thermos has a radius of 2 in, What is the volume of similar thermos with a radius of 3 in. hold ( please explain)

OpenStudy (mismycatmin):

The formula for a cylinder's volume is pi (3.14) times radius^2 times the height. So, first find the volume of the first thermos. If the diameter is 2(1/2) in, the radius is half of that, or 1(1/4)in. V= 3.14 x (1.14in)^2 x 9, where V is the volume. Use a calculator to solve this. Then take your answer, which is the volume of the container, and divide it by the radius of the 2nd travel mug. If the diameter is 3 (1/2) in, then the radius will be 1(3/4) in. So, set up an equation. answer to the above= 3.14 x 1(3.4)^2 x h So, solve for h to find your answer.

OpenStudy (mismycatmin):

Cylinder volume = (Pie x diameter^2)/4 x height of the cylinder so using the 2 1/2 and 9 we get 44.17 in^3 for volume now solve for height with 31/3 x h = 44.17 in^3 of liquid

im still confused! sorry!!

OpenStudy (mismycatmin):

h = 44.17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does 2(1/2) mean

OpenStudy (mismycatmin):

it means two and one hafe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the diameter is only 2

OpenStudy (mismycatmin):

i now it is hard to explan i gave you your answer i would say look over it agean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (mismycatmin):

ok tag me if you tag me if you need me kk ttyl
