Question

Two right circular cylinders of equal volumes have their heights in the ratio 1 : 2. What is the ratio of their radii ?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Let r1 and r2 be the radii of two right circular cylinders and h1 and h2 be the heights.

Since,

Both the cylinder has the same volume.

Therefore,

`pir_1^2 h_1 = pir_2^2 h_2`

`(r_1/r_2)^2 = h^2/h_1`

`(h_1 :h_2 = 1:2 , "given")`

`(r_1/r_2)^2 = (2/1)`

`r_1 :r_2 = sqrt2 : 1`
