Question

Suppose that the volume of a right circular cylinder is 288 cubic meters and the area of its base is 16 square meters. What is the height of the cylinder?

A. 12 m
B. 16 m
C. 18 m
D. 14 m

Answer 1

The answer is 18 I don’t have a fancy explanation but I wrote everything out on paper and I got 18 I hope this helped! (I’m sorry if this is the wrong answer)

Answer 2

Hello:

--> find the height of the cylinder

Let's find the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder:

`\text{Volume}=\pi r^2*h`

- -> now
`\pi r^2` is the area of the base, which is a circle that is 16

- -> the volume is 288

- -> let's plug in all the known values

`288=16*h\\\\h=(288)/(16) \\\\h=18`

Thus the height is 18 meters

Answer: 18 m
