Question

Cylinders A and B are similar solids. The base of cylinder A has a circumference of 4pi units. The base of cylinder B has an

area of 9pi units.
The dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by what factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of cylinder B?
4/9 2/3 3/2 9/4

Answer 1

d) 9/4

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given circumference of cylinder A = π r² = 4π units

Given circumference of cylinder B = π r² = 9π units

The dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by
`(9)/(4)`

circumference of cylinder A = π r² = 4π(
`(9)/(4))` units = 9 π units

circumference cylinder A= 4π(
`(9)/(4))` units = 9 π units = circumference of cylinder B

Final answer:-

The dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by 9/4 produce the corresponding dimensions of cylinder B
