Answer:
Explanation:
Given the volume of the cylindrical soup expressed as V = πr³+ 7πr²
From V = πr³ + 7πr²;
factor out the common variable
V = πr³ + 7πr²
V = πr²(r+7) ... 1
The original volume of a cylinder V = πr²h .... 2 where;
r is the radius of the cylinder
h is the height of the cylinder
Equating equation 1 and 2, we will have;
πr²(r+7) = πr²h
Divide both sides by πr²
πr²(r+7)/ πr² = πr²h/ πr²
r+7 = h
h = r+7
Hence the factor in the context given is equivalent to the height of the cylinder written as a function of its radius r. The statement means that the height of the cylindrical soup is 7 more than its radius.
