Cylinder Fits Exactly Inside The Sphere
Cylinder Fits Exactly Inside The Sphere
Since the cylinder has a radius r =2.5 cm and a height h=5 cm, its volume can be solved as
follows:
V cylinder =π ×r 2 × h
⇒ V cylinder =98.125 c m3
4
V sphere = × π ×r 3
3
4
⇒ V sphere= × 3.14 ×2.53
3
⇒ V sphere=65.41 6́ c m 3
(c) Relationship
Dividing the volume of the sphere V sphere by the volume of the cylinder V cylinder :
V sphere 65.41 6́ c m3
=
V cylinder 98.125 c m3
V sphere 2
⇒ =
V cylinder 3
2
⇒ V sphere= V cylinder
3
2
⇒ V sphere= × V cylinder
3
2
Thus, the volume of the sphere is 3 the volume of the cylinder.
Checking:
2
V sphere = × V cylinder
3
2
⇒ V sphere= × 98.125
3
⇒ V sphere=65.41 6́ c m3
