Question

A glass vase is shaped like a cylinder and has a radius of 2.5 inches. The vase holds 170 cubic inches of water. How tall is the vase? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The answer is 8.66

Explanation:

when you round it to the nearest hundred that is what you get... plus I took the quiz and got it right

Answer 2

So to find a cylinder's volume, you do πr^2*h = volume
So we can fill in a few of the elements.
3.14 * 2.5 ^2 * h = 170
And then we can continue to simplify it.
3.14 * 6.25 * h = 170
19.625 * h = 170
And then to find h,
170/19.625 = about 8.66
