Problem 19

Rhombus $ABCD$, with side length $6$, is rolled to form a cylinder of volume $6$ by taping $\overline{AB}$ to $\overline{DC}$. What is $\sin(\angle ABC)$?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ \frac{\pi}{9} \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ \frac{1}{2} \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ \frac{\pi}{6} \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ \frac{\pi}{4} \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Solution

[asy] pair A=(0,0), B=(6*dir(60)), D=(6,0); pair C=B+D;  draw(A--B--C--D--A); draw(B--(3,0));  label("\(A\)",A,SW);label("\(B\)",B,NW);label("\(C\)",C,NE);label("\(D\)",D,SE); label("\(6\)",B/2,NW); label("\(\theta\)",(.8,.5)); label("\(h\)",(3,2.6),E); [/asy]

$V_{Cylinder} = \pi r^2 h$

Where $C = 2\pi r = 6$ and $h=6\sin\theta$

$r = \frac{3}{\pi}$

$V = \pi \left(\frac{3}{\pi}\right)^2\cdot 6\sin\theta$

$6 = \frac{9}{\pi} \cdot 6\sin\theta$

$\sin\theta = \frac{\pi}{9} \Rightarrow \mathrm{(A)}$
