A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. The cone has radius 2x. Find the height of the cone in terms of y.

Respuesta :

[tex]\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V_c=\pi r^2h\qquad \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ ------\\ r=x\\ h=y \end{cases}\implies V_c=x^2y\pi \\\\\\ \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V_n=\cfrac{\pi r^2h}{3}\qquad r=2x\implies V_n=\cfrac{\pi \cdot (2x)^2h}{3} \\\\\\ V_n=\cfrac{\pi \cdot 2^2x^2h}{3}\implies V_n=\cfrac{4x^2h\pi }{3}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\bf V_c=V_n\implies x^2y\pi =\cfrac{4x^2h\pi }{3}\implies 3x^2y\pi =4x^2h\pi \\\\\\ \cfrac{3x^2y\pi }{4x^2\pi }=h\implies \boxed{\cfrac{3y}{4}=h}[/tex]

The height of the cone when its volume is equal to a cylinder of base radius x and height is y, is [tex]\frac{3}{4}y[/tex].

What is the volume of a cylinder?

The volume of a cylinder is the space that is been occupied by the cylinder, it is given by the formula,

[tex]\text{Volume of Cylinder} = \pi r^2 h[/tex]

where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

What is the volume of the cone?

The volume of the cone is the space occupied by a cone of base radius r and the height h.

[tex]\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

Given to us

The height of the cylinder = y

The radius of the base of the cylinder = x

The radius of the cone base = 2x

Let the height of the cone be represented by h.

As it is given to us that the volume of the cone and the cylinder is same, therefore,

[tex]\text{Volume of cylinder}= \text{Volume of the cone}[/tex]

Substitute the values,

[tex]\pi (x)^2y = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (2x)^2 h\\\\y = \dfrac{1}{3} 4 h\\\\h = \dfrac{3y}{4}[/tex]

Hence, the height of the cone when its volume is equal to a cylinder of base radius x and height is y, is [tex]\frac{3}{4}y[/tex].
