Bottle

A company wants to produce a bottle with a capacity of 1.25 liters. Find the dimensions of a cylinder that will be required to produce this 1.25 liters if the height of the cylinder must be five times the radius.

Correct answer:

r =  0.4301 dm
h =  2.1506 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} V=1.25\text{l}\to {\text{dm}}^3=1.25\cdot 1{\text{dm}}^3=1.25{\text{dm}}^3 \\ h=5r \\ V=\pi r{}^{2}h \\ V=\pi r{}^{2}5r \\ V=5\pi r^3 \\ r=\sqrt[3]{V/(5\pi )}=\sqrt[3]{1.25/(5\cdot 3.1416)}=0.4301\text{dm} \end{gathered}$$

$h=5\cdot r=5\cdot 0.4301=2.1506\text{dm}$
