Question

The volume of the cylinder is approximately 461.58 in3.

The diameter is ___ in.

Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

7 in.

Explanation:

Volume formula for a circular cylinder is

`V = \pi r^(2) h`

`461.58 = 3.14(12)r^(2)`

`r^(2) = (461.58)/(12(3.14))`

= 12.25

`r = √(12.25) = 3.5`

diameter = 2(3.5) = 7 in.
