Answer:
The height of the second cylinder is 30mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Cylinder 1:
[tex]R = 15mm[/tex]
[tex]H = 45mm[/tex]
Cylinder 2
[tex]r = 10mm[/tex]
See attachment
Required
Determine h, the height of the small one
To do this, we make use of the following equivalent ratios;
[tex]R : H = r : h[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]15 : 45 = 10 : h[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]\frac{15 }{ 45 }= \frac{10 }{ h}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\frac{1 }{ 3}= \frac{10 }{ h}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]h *1 = 3 * 10[/tex]
[tex]h = 30[/tex]
