The correct statement about the circumference (C) and the height (h) is gotten as; C > h
The formula for circumference of a cylinder is;
C = 2πr
Now, we are not given the radius of the cylinder but we are told that there are 3 balls that fit perfectly into the cylindrical canister. Each having a diameter of 1.68 inches.
Thus;
Radius; r = d/2 = 1.68/2 = 0.84 inches
Height of cylinder will be;
h = 3d = 3 * 1.68
h = 5.04 inches
Circumference; C = 2π * 0.84 = 5.28 inches. Thus;
C > h
The complete question;
Golf ball size basketballs are often packed in cylindrical canisters. The diagram below shows three balls in a canister. Let C be the circumference of the canister and let H be the height of the canister. Assuming each ball has a diameter of 1.68 inches and the balls fit snugly in the canister, which of the following statements is correct?
