kk i know u guys are gonna kill me but
well i dont get this question either

A cylindrical glass has a radius of 3 centimetres and a height of 7 centimetres.
A large cylindrical jar full of water is a similar shape to the glass.
The glass can be filled with water from the jar exactly 216 times.
Work out the radius and height of the jar.

Ghost Of Highbury:
Volume of glass = Pi*r2*h = 63Pi

so volume of jar = 216* 63Pi = 13608Pi cm3

since jar is similar shape to glass then ratio of height / radius of the jar = 7/3

let height of jar = h cm

h/r = 7/3

r/h = 3/7

r = 3h/7

volume of jar = Pi *(3h/7)2*h
= 9h2/49 * h * Pi
= ( 9/49)*h3* Pi

so (9/49)*h3* Pi = 13608Pi
h^3 = 13608*(49/ 9)

h = 42 => r = 42 * 3/7 = 18

r = 18 cm and h = 42 cm
