The diameters of two similar cylinders are in the ratio of 2 to 3 and the volume of the
smaller cylinder is 1600 cm3. Find the volume of the larger cylinder.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make a formula

[tex]\frac{diameter_1}{volume_1} = \frac{diameter_2}{volume_2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{1600} = \frac{3}{x}[/tex]

Step 2:  Cross multiply

[tex]2(x) = 3(1600)[/tex]

[tex]2x=4800[/tex]

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 2

[tex]2x/2 = 4800/2[/tex]

[tex]x = 2400[/tex]

Answer:  The volume of the larger cylinder is 2400 cm^3
