5 cm
Work out the volume of cylinder B.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume is 718 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the radius of cylinder A

From the base area,

we have that;

A = pi * r^2

18 = 3.142 * r^2

r^2 = 18/3.142

r^2 = 5.73

r= √5.73

r = 2.39

If two shapes are similar, we have the ratio of their corresponding sides equal;

Thus;

2.39/5 = x/10

x = (10 * 2.39)/5

x = 4.78 cm

To get the volume, we use the formula

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.142 * 4.78^2 * 10

V = 717.8 cm^3

This is approximately 718 cm^3
