volume of a cylindrical solid

Geometry Level 1

A right cylindrical solid of altitude 8 8 inches has the cross section shown in the shaded portion of the figure above. B E D G BEDG is a circle whose radius is O G OG . A F C G AFCG is a circle which is tangent to the bigger circle at G G . If A B = C D = 5 AB=CD=5 inches and E F = 9 EF=9 inches, find the volume of the cylinder in cubic inches. Take π = 22 7 \pi=\frac{22}{7} .


The answer is 5148.

Consider my diagram. Let r r be the radius of the small circle and R R be the radius of the big circle.

y + r = 2 r + 9 2 y+r=\dfrac{2r+9}{2}

2 y + 2 r = 2 r + 9 2y+2r=2r+9

2 y = 9 2y=9

y = 4.5 y=4.5

5 + x = y + r 5+x=y+r

5 + x = 4.5 + r 5+x=4.5+r

r = 0.5 + x r=0.5+x ( 1 ) \color{#D61F06}(1)

By pythagorean theorem, we have

r 2 = x 2 + y 2 r^2=x^2+y^2 ( 2 ) \color{#D61F06}(2)

Substitute y = 4.5 y=4.5 and ( 1 ) \color{#D61F06}(1) in ( 2 ) \color{#D61F06}(2) , we have

( 0.5 + x ) 2 = x 2 + 4. 5 2 (0.5+x)^2=x^2+4.5^2

0.25 + x + x 2 = x 2 + 20.25 0.25+x+x^2=x^2+20.25

x = 20 x=20

It follows that, r = 0.5 + 20 = 20.5 r=0.5+20=20.5

Then, R = O B = x + 5 = 25 R=OB=x+5=25 .

The area of the shaded portion is A s = π ( R 2 r 2 ) = 22 7 ( 2 5 2 20. 5 2 ) = 643.5 A_{s}=\pi(R^2-r^2)=\dfrac{22}{7}(25^2-20.5^2)=643.5 .

Therefore, the volume is 643.5 ( 8 ) = 5148 643.5(8)=\color{#3D99F6}\boxed{5148}
