Question

The height, h, of a cylinder is 5 units less than 3 times its radius, r. Which expression represents the height of the cylinder in terms of its radius?

Answer 1

h = height

r = radius

3r = 3 times it's radius

5 units less means subtract so,

h = 3r-5

Answer 2

The expression that represents the height of the cylinder in terms of its radius is option (B): 3r - 5.

Complete Question:

The height, h, of a cylinder is 5 units less than 3 times its radius, r. Which expression represents the height of the cylinder in terms of its radius?

A. 5 - 3r

B. 3r - 5

C. 5h - 3r

D. 3r - 5h

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve the given problem:

The radius of the cylinder is given as "r" units.

So,

3 times the radius will be represented as = "3r" units

and

5 units less from the radius will be represented as = "3r - 5" units

5 units less from 3 times the radius will give us the height "h" of the cylinder, so the final equation can be formed as,

$\bold{h = (3r - 5)\:units}$

Thus, the expression representing the height of the cylinder in terms of the radius is → option (B): $\boxed{\bold{3r - 5}}$.
