A 1.8 m tall man has a waistline of 100 cm. Which measure best approximates the volume of the man when using a cylinder to approximate the man's shape? Question 1 options:
0.06 m³
0.14 m³
0.4 m³
0.72 m³

Respuesta :

waistline 100cm is the circle circumference->calculate radius
100cm=1m=2*r*π
0.5=r*π
0.5/π=r

area of a circle: A=r²π=(0.5/π)²π=0.25/π m²

circlearea*height=cylinder volume

1.8*0.25/π=0.45/π m³~0.143239 m³
so the second option is the correct one

Solution :

Given height of the man = 1.8 m

and waistline = 100 cm = 1 m.

Consider the shape of the man cylindrical.

Waistline of the man = circumference of the circular base of cylinder = 1 m

[tex]\Rightarrow 2\pi r = 1 \\ \Rightarrow r = \frac{0.5}{\pi}[/tex]

Volume of Cylinder , [tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow V = \pi\times (\frac{0.5}{\pi} )^2\times 1.8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow V = \frac{0.25}{\pi} \times 1.8 = \frac{0.45}{\pi} \approx0.14 \: m^3[/tex].

Hence, Volume of the man when using a cylinder is[tex]0.14\: m^3[/tex]

second option is the correct choice.
