I don't have an answer yet. Can someone help me please?

Volume is expressed as a cube, not a square.

Absurd question
First of all, volume is measured in cubic feet, not square feet.

To have 45 ft^3 , it could be a child's wading pool of of radius 3 ft with a height of appr 1.6 ft
Or an infinite number of other combinations

I just typed it out the way the question was, the "^2" isn't meant to represent squared, it is supposed to be cubed. I am having trouble figuring out what order need to go in to solve for the height. The only other piece of information I have is the formula to find the volume of a cylinder, V=πr^2 h.

Is it B, 1.5?
Answered by Reiny
You still have not provided enough information, other than telling us the pool is a cylinder.
Answered by ILTHSM_
The only information that is provided by the question is the volume. I was correct with my guess of 1.5.
