Question 1.
Radius = 5 cm, Height = 7.5 cm
Answer: The volume of the cylinder is 588.75 cm³

Explanation:
We know that , the volume of the cylinder V = πr²h
Here r = 5 cm , h = 7.5 cm,
V = πr²h
= 3.14 × (5)² × 7.5
= 5.8875 cm³
So, The volume of the cylinder is 588.75 cm³

Question 2.
Diameter = 7 in., Height = 5 in.
Answer: The volume of the cylinder is 192.3 in³

Explanation:
We know that , the volume of the cylinder V = πr²h
Here d = 7 in , h = 5 in,
then, r = 3.5
V = πr²h
= 3.14 × (3.5)² × 5
= 192.3 cm³
So, The volume of the cylinder is 192.3 cm³

Complete. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π.

Question 3.
The volume of a cylindrical tank of water is 1,808.64 cubic meters. The radius is 12 meters. What is the height of the cylindrical tank?
Use the formula for volume to find the height, h, of the cylinder.

The height of the cylindrical tank is about meters.

Explanation:
Given, the volume of the tank V = 1,808.64 cubic meters, radius r = 12 meters
We know that , the volume of the cylinder V = πr²h
here π = 3.14
V = πr²h
h = $$\frac{V}{πr²}$$
= $$\frac{1808.64}{3.14 × 12 × 12}$$
= $$\frac{1808.64}{452.16}$$
= 4
So, The height of the cylindrical tank is about 4 meters.

Area of curved surface = 2πrh Use the formula for the area of the curved surface.
= 2πr • Substitute the surface area and height.
= 2 • • πr Multiply 2 by
= Simplify.
$$\frac{?}{?}=\frac{?}{?}$$ Divide both sides by .
= r Simplify.
The diameter of the can is centimeters.
Answer: The diameter of the can is 18 cm

Explanation:
Given, The area of the curved surface of a cylindrical can is l62π square centimeters and h = 9 cm,
We know that Area of curved surface = 2πrh
Now equate the given data to the area formula we get,
2πrh = l62π
2 × r × 9 = 162
r = $$\frac{162}{18}$$
r = 9 cm
Then, d = 2r = 2 × 9 = 18cm,
So, The diameter of the can is 18cm

Answer: The volume of the mallet is V = 8024 cm³.

Explanation:
We know that , the volume of the cylinder V = πr²h
The volume of first cylinder is
Here d = 22 cm  , h = 18cm,
then, r = 11 cm
V = πr²h
= 3.14 × (11)² × 18
= 6838.92 cm³
So, The volume of the first cylinder is 6838 cm³

The volume of second cylinder is
Here d = 6 cm  , h = 42 cm,
then, r = 3 cm
V = πr²h
= 3.14 × (3)² × 42
= 1186.92 cm³
So, The volume of the second cylinder is 1186 cm³

Then, The volume of the mallet is  volume of first cylinder + volume of second cylinder
= 6836 + 1186
V = 8024 cm³.
So, The volume of the mallet is V = 8024 cm³.

Question 11.
A company makes cylindrical cans for peaches. Each can has a radius of 4 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. The company plans to increase the volume of each can by 25%.

Explanation:
We know that , the volume of the cylinder V = πr²h
Here r = 4 cm , h =12 cm,
V = πr²h
= 3.14 × (4)² × 12
= 602.88 cm³
So, The volume of the cylinder is 602 cm³

Given, increase the volume of each can by 25%.
The 25% of 602 = 150
Then V = 602 + 150 = 752 cm³

The new volume of the can is 752 cm³,
the height of the new can if the radius remains the same will be
V = πr²h
h = $$\frac{V}{πr²}$$
= $$\frac{752}{3.14 × 4 × 4}$$
= $$\frac{752}{50.24}$$
= 14.9 cm.
So, The height of the new can is about 15 cm .

b) What will be the radius of the new can if the height remains the same?

Explanation:
The new volume of the can is 752 cm³,
the radius of the new can if the height remains the same will be
V = πr²h
r² = $$\frac{V}{πh}$$
= $$\frac{752}{3.14 × 12}$$
r²= 19.95
r = 4.4
≈ 4 cm
So, The radius of the new can is 4 cm

Question 12.
A cylindrical water tank has a radius of 5 feet and a height of 10 feet. The volume of water in the tank is 565.2 cubic feet.
a) What is the height of the water in the tank?
Answer: The height of the water in the tank is 7.2 feet.

Explanation:
Given, V = 565.2 cubic feet, r = 5 feet
We know that , the volume of the cylinder V = πr²h
here π = 3.14
V = πr²h
h = $$\frac{V}{πr²}$$
= $$\frac{565.2}{3.14 × 5 × 5}$$
= $$\frac{565.2}{78.5}$$
= 7.2 feet.
So, The height of the water in the tank is 7.2 feet.

b) What percent of the tank’s volume is filled with water?
Answer: The percent of the tank’s volume is filled with water is 72%

Explanation:
The height of the tank is 10 feet and
