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?
