How many of these pitchers can a cylinder with height 9 inches and 2r fill? Explain how you know.

4 pitches

Step-by-step explanation:

if a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius r is filled with water, it can fill a certain pitcher. how many of these pitchers can a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius 2r fill? explain how you know.

Solution:

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

V = πr²h;

where V is the volume, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

A cylinder with height 9 inches and radius r can fill a certain pitcher. Therefore the volume of the cylinder is:

V = πr²h = πr²(9) = 9πr²

V = volume of pitcher = volume of cylinder with radius r = 9πr²

For a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius 2r its volume is:

V2 = πr²h = π(2r)²(9) = 36πr²

Therefore, the number of pitchers a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius 2r can fill is:

number of pitches = 36πr² / 9πr² = 4

Therefore a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius 2r can fill 4 pitches.
