The marketing manager of a soft drink company wants to design a can with a height that is four times the radius of the can. a) express the volume of the can as a function of the radius, r b) explain the volume of the can as function of the height, h
Volume of a cylindrical can = pi r^2 h We are given that h = 4r , so substituting for h in the above formula:- Volume = pi * r^2 * 4r = 4pir^3 <---- the answer to Part a.
h = 4r so r = h/4 Substituting for r:- Volume = pi * (h/4)^2 * h = pi h^3/16 <------- Answer to part b.
