Question

Determine the radius of a cylinder with a volume of 163 ft cubed with a height of 4 ft​

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder is given by the product of its base area (i.e. the area of a circle) and its height:

`V = \pi r^2\cdot h`

Solving for r, we have

`r=\sqrt{(V)/(h\pi)}`

Plugging the numbers, we have

`r=\sqrt{(163)/(4\pi)} \approx 3.6`
