Question

Mitchell Farms wishes to install a grain silo with a height of 20-50 feet and a radius under 10, the grain silo must have a volume of 10,000 cubic feet. For a cylinder of height h and radius r, the volume is given by

V(r,h) = pi * ( r^2) * h

  • If we wanted to keep the height between 20 and 50 feet, what interval of radii would we choose?
  • If we wanted to keep the radius under 10 feet, what interval of height would we choose?
  • Can their desire be met? that is can you suggest a cylinder with a height that falls between 20 and 50 feet AND has a radius under 10. 
  • On either plot, sketch y=x (or r=h in this case). Mitchell farm has inquired about equal height and radius, does this exist? how would drawing the r=h in this case be helpful?
