Help, thanks!

65PI=PI*5sqrt(25+h^2)
solve for height h

65/5= sqrt(25+h^2)
square both sides
169=25+h^2
h= 12

volume= 1/2 PI r^2 h

But that's wrong :(

The lateral area is just πrs. Don't include the area of the base.
so,

πrs = 5πs = 65π, so s = 13
So, the height is 12, making the volume

v = πr^2 h = π*25*12 = 300π

The answer is 100pi (bobpursley was right about the height but the formula he stated was incorrect)
