A sphere of radius rcm has the same volume as cylinder of radius 3cm and height 4cm. Find the value of r
Detalhes da Resposta
The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by the formula: \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\). The volume of a cylinder of radius 3cm and height 4cm is given by the formula: \(\pi (3cm)^2(4cm) = 36\pi cm^3\). According to the question, the volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the cylinder. Therefore: \[\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = 36\pi\] Dividing both sides by \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\), we get: \[r^3 = 27\] Taking the cube root of both sides, we get: \[r = 3\] Therefore, the value of r is 3cm. Answer is correct.
