Answer to Problem 15PPS

The scale factor between the large and small cheese wheels is 41 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The diameter of the cylindrical cheese is 48 in

The height of the cheese is 17 in.

The diameter of another cheese is 1 ft.

Calculation:

The objective is to find the scale factor between the large and small cheese wheels.

First convert feet into inches.

  1 ft=12 in.

Two solid figures are similar if they have the same shape and their corresponding linear measurements are proportional.

Since both the figures are cylinder and their corresponding linear measurements are proportional, so the cylinders are similar.

The ratio of the diameter of large to smaller cheese is 4812 that is 41 .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the scale factor between the large and small cheese wheels is 41 .

To determine

To find:the height of the smaller cheese wheel.

Answer to Problem 15PPS

The height of the smaller cheese wheel is 4.25 in..

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The objective is to find the height of the smaller cheese wheel.

Let h be the height of the smaller cheese wheel.

Since the cheese wheels are similar, so their corresponding linear measurements are proportional.

Thus,

  17h=4812=4117h=41171=4h17=4h4h=17h=174=4.25

Conclusion:

Therefore, the height of the smaller cheese wheel is 4.25 in..

Answer to Problem 15PPS

The volume of the larger wheel is approximately 2678394.88 in3 and the smaller wheel is 480.42in3 .

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The objective is to find the volume of each wheel cheese.

The volume V of the cylinder is given by the formula

  V=πr2h

Let V1 be the volume of larger cylinder.

Thus,

  V1=π(24)217=π5017617=852992π852992(3.14)[Since π3.14]

Therefore, the volume of the larger wheel is approximately 2678394.88 in3 .

Let V2 be the volume of larger cylinder.

Thus,

  V2=π(6)2(4.25)=π36(4.25)=153π153(3.14)[Since π3.14]=480.42

Conclusion:

Therefore,the volume of the larger wheel is approximately 2678394.88 in3 and the smaller wheel is 480.42in3 .

(d)

To determine

To find: the difference in the volume of larger wheel to smaller wheel.

Answer to Problem 15PPS

The difference is 2699914.46in3 .

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The objective is to find the difference in the volume of larger wheel to smaller wheel.

The volume of larger wheel is 2678394.88 in3 and the volume smaller wheel is 480.42in3 .

The difference is (2678394.88480.42)in3 that is 2699914.46in3

Conclusion:

Therefore,the difference is 2699914.46in3 .
