From the activity, we found that the volume of both cylinders are affected by
its radius. Although the height of Cylinder A is higher than Cylinder B, this
does not affect the volume much more compare the affect of difference in
radius. For example, the height of the Cylinder A and B is 11 inch and 8.5
inch, the radius of Cylinder A is 11inch and Cylinder B is 8.5inch. From the
calculation, it has been found out that volume of Cylinder B is greater than
Cylinder A. It is because based on the formula, the volume of cylinder is
equals to
. According to the formula, the radius is is squared to find the
volume. Hence, increasing the radius is better than increasing the height if
want to get the maximum volume. When completing the section B of the
project, I have been given 300
of this sheet material to find the various
types of container will hold the greatest volume. When we want to solve the
problems that involving maximum values, we need to express the quantity to
be maximised- volume (V) in terms of one variable only radius(r).
Secondly, find the
and find the value of r where
=0. It is because the
maximum and the minimum points of a curve are the turning point of the
curve where
=0. Then, we substitute the value of r into V to find the
maximum value of V. From
the calculations, we found that cone has the
maximum volume, 605.85
. It followed by the cylinder, 563.62
. To
conclude this work, we found that the shapes of containers that give the most
popcorn reflect the maximum volume. Randomly, surveying at the movie
theater, cone and cylinder containers always can be found. Therefore, in this
case, the cone container was the most preferable container that can have the
most popcorn.
