Question

The ratio between the radius of the base and the height of a cylinder is 3:4. If its volume is 38,808 cm³, then using \( \pi = \frac{22}{7} \), find the diameter of the cylinder.

The correct answer is

42 cm

Let the radius of the base be \(3x\) and the height be \(4x\).

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ \frac{22}{7} \times (3x)^2 \times 4x = 38,808 \] \[ \frac{22}{7} \times 9x^2 \times 4x = 38,808 \] \[ \frac{22}{7} \times 36x^3 = 38,808 \] \[ \frac{792x^3}{7} = 38,808 \] \[ 792x^3 = 271,656 \] \[ x^3 = 343 \] \[ x = 7 \]

Thus, the radius of the cylinder is:

\[ 3x = 3 \times 7 = 21 \text{ cm} \]

Diameter = \( 2 \times 21 = 42 \) cm.

Thus, the correct answer is 42 cm.
