A solid consists of a cone on top of a cylinder with a radius equal to that of the cone. The height of the cone is 66 and the height of the cylinder is 5. If the volume of the solid is 64π, what is the area of the base of the cylinder?
2 Answers
Explanation:
The volume of the cone is given by:
Since the height of the cone is 66, then
So,
The volume of a cylinder is given by:
Since the height of the cylinder is 5, then
So,
The total volume of the solid is
Therefore,
Since r is the radius, it must be have the restriction:
Therefore,
To find the base of the cylinder, we need to know that the base is a circle. The area of a circle is given by
The area of the base of the cylinder is:
Explanation:
The area of the base we need to find is:
The volume of the cylinder is:
where
The volume of the cone is
where
The volume of the solid is the sum of those two volumes:
Factoring
And that is the area of the base:
