Answer:

A) 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cylinder:

[tex]V=\pi r^2H[/tex]

r - radius

H - height

We have r = 1cm and H = 21cm. Substitute:

[tex]V=\pi(1^2)(21)=21\pi\ cm^3[/tex]

The formula of a cone:

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H[/tex]

r - radius

H - height

We have V = 21π cm³ and H = 7cm. Substitute:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(r^2)(7)=21\pi[/tex]        divide both sides by π

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}(7)(r^2)=21[/tex]         divide both sides by 7

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}r^2=3[/tex]         multiply both sides by 3

[tex]r^2=9\to r=\sqrt9\\\\r=3\ cm[/tex]

Answer:

A 3cm
