What is the height and radius of a cylinder if the volume is 512?

It is not possible to answer the question with the information provided. Consider 512 cm3 of putty. Make a squat cylinder from it. Measure its height and radius. Then roll it out into a longer cylinder. Measure its height and radius again. Roll it into a still longer cylinder and measure its height and radius yet again. Repeat until you get fed up! All these cylindershave the same volume (512 cm3) because they are made from the same amount of putty. But any one of the height and radius combinations will give that volume.


Why is radius greater than apothem?
