Question

If the radius of the right cylinder is 5 in and the radius of the oblique cylinder is 4 in, they will have the same volume as long as they are the same height.

a. True
b. False​

Answer 1

False.

Explanation:

Recall that the volume of a right cylinder is given by the formula:

`V=\pi r^2h`

And the volume if a oblique cylinder is likewise also given by the formula:

`V=\pi r^2h`

From the formulas, therefore, if the heights are equivalent, then the radii must also be equivalent for the two cylinders to have the same volume.
