Question 14 • Geometry

Two cylinders are similar. The radius of cylinder cap A is 5 point 6 inches. The radius of cylinder cap b is 1 point 4 inches. If the height of cylinder cap b is 4 inches, what is the height of cylinder cap A ?

Answer
A
16 square inches
B
8 point 2 inches
C
8 point 2 square inches
D
16 inches

Explanation

Similar cylinders have the same ratio of corresponding lengths. The radius of cap A is 5.6 ÷ 1.4 = 4 times the radius of cap B, so its height is also 4 times as great: 4 × 4 = 16 inches. The correct choice is 16 inches.
