By adjusting dimensions while keeping the product of radius and height constant, two cylinders with equal volumes can be created. The example illustrates this principle with volumes of 45π.
To achieve two different cylinders with the same volume, we can manipulate the dimensions while keeping the product of the radius and height constant. The volume (V) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula:
Volume = π * r^2 * h
In the given scenario, the volume of one cylinder is 45π. To create two cylinders with the same volume, we can vary the dimensions. Let's consider two cylinders:
Cylinder 1:
Volume_1 = π * r_1^2 * h_1
Cylinder 2:
Volume_2 = π * r_2^2 * h_2
To maintain equal volumes, we need to satisfy the condition Volume_1 = Volume_2, implying:
π * r_1^2 * h_1 = π * r_2^2 * h_2
Given that the volume of one cylinder is 45π, we can choose specific values for r_1, h_1, r_2, and h_2. For instance:
Cylinder 1: r_1 = 3, h_1 = 5
Volume_1 = π * (3)^2 * 5 = 45π
Cylinder 2: r_2 = 6, h_2 = 4
Volume_2 = π * (6)^2 * 4 = 45π
The volume of one cylinder is 45π, and by adjusting the dimensions, we can create two cylinders with equal volumes.
