Answer:
The height of the cylinder is 4 inches.
Explanation:
The Volume of a cylinder is:
Vol = BaseArea•ht
The Base of a cylinder is a circle. So BaseArea is the area of a circle.
A = pi • r^2
The diameter is given, 4 inches. The radius is 1/2 that.
1/2 of 4 is 2.
The radius is 2 inches.
Area = pi • 2^2
= pi • 4
= 4pi
The Volume again, is:
V = BaseArea•ht
Volume was also given, 50
50 = 4pi • height
Divide by 4pi
50/4pi = height
3.97887 = height
The height is 4 inches (rounded)
