Answer:

The volume of the second cylinder is three times as large as the volume of the first cylinder .

Hence [tex]V_2=3\times V_1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the height of one right circular cylinder is 6 centimeters and its radius is 3 centimeters.

Let [tex]h_1,r_1[/tex] be the height and radius of the first right circular cylinder respectively.

∴ [tex]h_1=6 cm[/tex] and [tex]r_1=3 cm[/tex]

The height of a second right circular cylinder is 18 centimeters and its radius is 3 centimeters.

Let [tex]h_2,r_2[/tex] be the height and radius of the second right circular cylinder respectively.

∴ [tex]h_1=18 cm[/tex] and [tex]r_1=3 cm[/tex]

To find the volume of the second cylinder is how many times as large as the volume of the first cylinder :

The formula for Volume of right circular cylinder is

[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex] units

The  Volume of first right circular cylinder is

[tex]V_1=\pi r_1^2h_1[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula we get

[tex]V_1=\pi (3^2)(6)[/tex]

[tex]V_1=\pi (9)(6)[/tex]

[tex]=54\pi [/tex] units

[tex]V_1=54\pi [/tex] units

The  Volume of second right circular cylinder is

[tex]V_2=\pi r_2^2h_2[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula we get

[tex]V_2=\pi (3^2)(18)[/tex]

[tex]V_2=\pi (9)(18)[/tex]

[tex]=162\pi [/tex] units

[tex]V_2=162\pi [/tex] units

From the volumes [tex]V_1 and V_2[/tex] we get

[tex]\frac{V_2}{V_1}=\frac{162\pi}{54\pi}[/tex]

[tex]=3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{V_2}{V_1}=3[/tex]

[tex]V_2=3\times V_1[/tex]

The volume of the second cylinder is three times as large as the volume of the first cylinder .
