Answer:

a) 235.62 cm³ (nearest hundredth)

b) 2. tripling the height to 9 cm, while the radius remains 5 cm, gives the most volume

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cylinder = [tex]2\pi r^2h[/tex]  (where r is the radius and h is the height)

Given:

  • r = 5 cm
  • h = 3 cm

a) ⇒ volume = [tex]\pi \times 5^2 \times 3=75\pi =235.62[/tex] cm³ (nearest hundredth)

b)  Given:

  • r = 10 cm
  • h = 3 cm

⇒ volume = [tex]\pi \times 10^2 \times 3=300\pi =942.48[/tex] cm³ (nearest hundredth)

Given:

  • r = 5 cm
  • h = 9 cm

⇒ volume = [tex]\pi \times 5^2 \times 9=225\pi =706.86[/tex] cm³ (nearest hundredth)

Therefore, 2) tripling the height to 9 cm, while the radius remains 5 cm, gives the most volume
