Problem C. 959. (October 2008)

C. 959. The diameter of one base of a truncated cone is 100 mm. If the diameter is increased by 21%, leaving the height and the size of the other base unchanged, the volume of the truncated cone will also increase by 21%. What is the diameter of the other base?

Megoldás. Az adott alapkör sugara 50 mm. Jelölje a másik alapkör sugarát r, a csonkakúp magasságát pedig m. Ekkor a csonkakúp térfogata \frac{\pi\cdot m}{3}\cdot(r^2+50r+50^2). A feltétel szerint

1,21\cdot\frac{\pi\cdot m}{3}\cdot(r^2+50r+50^2)=
\frac{\pi\cdot m}{3}\cdot(r^2+50\cdot1,21r+(1,21\cdot50)^2),

az egyenlet mindkét oldalát osztva \frac{\pi\cdot m}{3}-mal, majd rendezve kapjuk, hogy:

0,21r2=635,25,

amiből r=55 mm.

A másik alapkör átmérője 2r=110 mm.
