Answer to Problem 27HP
Laura
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Two similar cylinders X and Y
Diameter of cylinder X
Height of cylinder X
Radius of cylinder Y
Concept used:
Two cylinders are similar if their corresponding radii and heights are proportional.
Calculation:
Since cylinder X and cylinder Y are similar, compare their corresponding radii and heights.
Let the height of cylinder Y is
Paloma incorrectly compared the diameter of X to the radius of Y.
Conclusion:
Therefore, Laura found the height of cylinder Y correctly.
