Some simple configurations

These may appear in various forms on the GMAT, and are good practice to derive on one's own :

1. Sphere inscribed in cube of side : Radius of sphere is

2. Cube inscribed in sphere of radius : Side of cube is

3. Cylinder inscribed in cube of side : Radius of cylinder is ; Height

4. Cone inscribed in cube of side : Radius of cone is ; Height

5. Cylinder of radius in sphere of radius ( ) : Height of cylinder is

Examples

Example 1 : A certain right circular cylinder has a radius of 5 inches. There is oil filled in this cylinder to the

height of 9 inches. If the oil is poured completely into a second right cylinder, then it will fill the second cylinder

to a height of 4 inches. What is the radius of the second cylinder, in inches?

A. 6

B. 6.5

C. 7

E. 8

Solution : The volume of the liquid is constant.

Initial volume =

New volume =

Answer is (d)
