Question

An oblique cylinder has a radius of 10 meters and a volume of 2,500 cubic meters. Use Cavalieri’s Principle to solve for the height of the solid. 5 meters 25 meters 50 meters 250 meters

Answer 1

The answer is 25 meters.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The idea of the Cavalieri's Principle states that even if the cylinder is oblique, so long as the planes in the figure are parallel, the equation would still be equal to,
V = Bh = πr²h
Substituting,
2,500 = π(10 m)²h
h = 7.95 m
The answer should be 5 meters.
