If a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius ris filled with water, it can fill a certain pitcher. How many of these pitchers can a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius 2r fill? ( Just type the whole number answer .)

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

cylinders

h = 9 in

radius = r (in )

V = volume (in ³ )

Step 02:

a.

volume of a cylinder:

V = π r ² h

radius = 1 in

V1 = π (1 in)² * 9 in = 9 π in³

radius = 2 in

V1 = π (2 in)² * 9 in = 36 π in³

radius = 3 in

V1 = π (3 in)² * 9 in = 243 π in³

Table

radius Volume

row 1 1 9 π

row 2 2 36 π

row 3 3 243 π

Step 03:

b. Is there a linear relationship between the radius and the volume of these cylinders?

Yes, because the greater the radius, the greater the volume.

Step 04:

c.

cylinder pitcher:

h = 9 in

r = r

V = π r ² h

Vcp = π r ² 9 in = 9 π r ² in ³

cylinder:

h = 9 in

r = 2r

V = π r ² h

Vc = π (2r) ² 9 in = 36 π r ² in ³

# pitchers = Vc / Vcp

= 36 π r ² in ³ / 9 π r ² in ³

= 4

It can fill 4 pitchers

That is the full solution.
