A cylinder with radius 6 cm and height h cm has the same volume as a sphere with radius 4.5cm Find the value of h.
(The volume, V, of a sphere with radius r is V=4/3pie r^3)

h = 4.22 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have the volume of a cylinder as;

V = pie * r^2 * h

We have it that the radius is 6 cm

V = pie * 6^2 * h

for the sphere, we have it that;

V = 4/3 * pie * r^3

V = 4/3 * pie * 4.5^3

We can proceed to equate both volumes;

pie * 6^2 * h = 5/3 * pie * 4.5^3

pie on both sides cancel out

6^2h = 5/3 * 4.5^3

36h = 151.875

h = 151.875/36

h = 4.22 cm
