Apparantly this Math problem is impossible? Ive posted it like 10 times and yet nobody has answered​

Answer 1

Explanation:

r=5 ×90/100=4.5 in

h=6×90/100=5.4 in

a.

volume of original cylinder=π×5²×6=150 π≈471.24 in³

b.

volume of new cylinder=π×4.5²×5.4=109.35 π in³≈343.53 in ³

c.

decrease in volume=150 π-109.35 π=40.65π

% decrease=(40.65 π)/150 π×100=4065/150=1355/50=27.1 %
