A cylinder of radius r and height h has volume V = r 2 h. (a) Use

Question:

A cylinder of radius r and height h has volume V = πr2h.

(a) Use the Linear Approximation to show that

V V 2  2 r +  h

(b) Estimate the percentage increase in V if r and h are each increased by 2%.

(c) The volume of a certain cylinder V is determined by measuring r and h. Which will lead to a greater error in V: a 1% error in r or a 1% error in h?
