Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Volume of the cylindrical can 1 is 2 litres and that of cylindrical can 2 is 6.75 litres. The diameter of the smaller can is 16 cm. We need to find the diameter of the larger can.
The formula of the volume of a cylinder is given by :
[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]
So,
[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}[/tex]
Diameter, d = 2r
[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{(d_1/2)^2}{(d_2/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=(\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2})[/tex]
V₁ = 2 L, V₂ = 6.75 L, d₁ = 16 cm, d₂ = ?
[tex]\dfrac{2}{6.75}=(\dfrac{16^2}{d_2^2})\\\\d_2=29.39\ cm[/tex]
So, the diameter of the larger can is 29.39 cm.
