Volume Comparison 8604Bc
1. **State the problem:**
We have five figures: Cylinder #1 (height 5 in, radius 6 in), Cone #1 (height 5 in, radius 6 in), Cylinder #2 (height 15 in, radius 6 in), Cone #2 (height 15 in, radius 6 in), and a Sphere (radius 6 in).
Part A: Identify which figures have volume greater than 600 cubic inches.
Part B: Find how many times greater the volume of the Sphere is compared to Cone #1, rounded to the nearest tenth.
2. **Formulas for volumes:**
- Cylinder volume: $$V=\pi r^2 h$$
- Cone volume: $$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$$
- Sphere volume: $$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$
3. **Calculate volumes:**
- Cylinder #1: $$V=\pi \times 6^2 \times 5=\pi \times 36 \times 5=180\pi \approx 565.49$$ cubic inches
- Cone #1: $$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times 6^2 \times 5=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times 36 \times 5=60\pi \approx 188.50$$ cubic inches
- Cylinder #2: $$V=\pi \times 6^2 \times 15=\pi \times 36 \times 15=540\pi \approx 1696.46$$ cubic inches
- Cone #2: $$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times 6^2 \times 15=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times 36 \times 15=180\pi \approx 565.49$$ cubic inches
- Sphere: $$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times 6^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times 216=288\pi \approx 904.78$$ cubic inches
4. **Compare volumes to 600:**
- Cylinder #1: 565.49 < 600 (No)
- Cone #1: 188.50 < 600 (No)
- Cylinder #2: 1696.46 > 600 (Yes)
- Cone #2: 565.49 < 600 (No)
- Sphere: 904.78 > 600 (Yes)
5. **Answer Part A:** Figures with volume greater than 600 cubic inches are Cylinder #2 and Sphere.
6. **Answer Part B:**
Calculate how many times greater the Sphere's volume is than Cone #1:
$$\frac{904.78}{188.50} \approx 4.8$$
**Final answers:**
- Part A: Cylinder #2 and Sphere
- Part B: Sphere's volume is approximately 4.8 times greater than Cone #1's volume.
