Question

a can of tuna has a shape similar to the shape of a large water tank the can of tuna has a diameter of 3in and a height of 2 in the water tank has a diameter of 6 yards what is the height of the water tank and bowls inches and yards

Answer 1

we know that

If the shapes are similar

then

the ratio of the height to the diameter of the can must be equal to the ratio of the height to the diameter of the tank

so

`(2)/(3) (height\ in)/(diameter\ in) =(x)/(6) (height\ yd)/(diameter\ yd)\\ \\ 3*x=6*2\\ \\x=12/3\\ \\x=4\ yd`

therefore

the answer is

The height of the tank is 4 yards
