An oblique cylinder with a base of radius 3 is shown. The top of
the cylinder can be obtained by translating the base by the
directed line segment AB which has length 6√2. The segment
AB forms a 45° angle with the plane of the base.
What is the volume of the cylinder?
(Lesson 5-11)



Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the cylinder, we need to know the radius and height of the cylinder. Given that the directed line segment AB forms a 45° angle with the plane of the base and has a length of \(6\sqrt{2}\), we can determine the radius and height of the cylinder.

Let's denote the radius of the cylinder as \(r\) and the height of the cylinder as \(h\).

Since segment AB forms a 45° angle with the plane of the base, it creates a right triangle with the base of the cylinder. The length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle is \(6\sqrt{2}\), which represents the slant height of the cylinder.

We can use trigonometric ratios to find the radius and height of the cylinder:

\[ \text{cos}(45^\circ) = \frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \]

\[ \text{cos}(45^\circ) = \frac{r}{6\sqrt{2}} \]

\[ r = 6 \]

So, the radius of the cylinder is \(6\).

Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cylinder:

\[ \text{height} = \sqrt{(\text{hypotenuse})^2 - (\text{base})^2} \]

\[ h = \sqrt{(6\sqrt{2})^2 - 6^2} \]

\[ h = \sqrt{72 - 36} \]

\[ h = \sqrt{36} \]

\[ h = 6 \]

So, the height of the cylinder is \(6\).

Now that we have the radius and height of the cylinder, we can calculate its volume using the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h \]

\[ \text{Volume} = \pi (6)^2 (6) \]

\[ \text{Volume} = 36\pi \times 6 \]

\[ \text{Volume} = 216\pi \]

So, the volume of the cylinder is \(216\pi\).
