STEP 1

Assumptions1. The volume of the first right circular cylinder is 480cm3480 cm^3 . The height of the first right circular cylinder is 5bcm5b cm
3. The base radius of the second right circular cylinder is 3acm3a cm
4. The height of the second right circular cylinder is 7bcm7b cm
5. aa and bb are positive constants6. The formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder is V=πrhV = \pi r^ h, where rr is the radius of the base and hh is the height

STEP 2

First, we need to find the radius of the first cylinder. We can do this by rearranging the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
r=Vπhr = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the volume and height of the first cylinder to calculate the radius.
r=480cm3π×5bcmr = \sqrt{\frac{480 cm^3}{\pi \times5b cm}}

STEP 4

implify the expression to find the radius in terms of aa and bb.
r=480cm3πbcm=acmr = \sqrt{\frac{480 cm^3}{\pi b cm}} = a cm

STEP 5

Now that we have the radius of the first cylinder in terms of aa and bb, we can find the volume of the second cylinder using the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the radius and height of the second cylinder to calculate the volume.
V=π(3acm)2(bcm)V = \pi (3a cm)^2 (b cm)

STEP 7

implify the expression to find the volume of the second cylinder in terms of aa and bb.
V=63πa2bcm3V =63\pi a^2 b cm^3

STEP 8

Now, substitute the value of aa from step4 into the expression for the volume of the second cylinder.
V=63π(480cm35πbcm)2bcm3V =63\pi \left(\sqrt{\frac{480 cm^3}{5\pi b cm}}\right)^2 b cm^3

STEP 9

implify the expression to find the volume of the second cylinder.
V=63π(480cm35πbcm)bcm3=6048cm3V =63\pi \left(\frac{480 cm^3}{5\pi b cm}\right) b cm^3 =6048 cm^3The volume of the second right circular cylinder is 6048cm36048 cm^3.
