what is the height of the cylinder? the figure is not drawn to scale.

volume= 271.4 in^3
radius= 6 in
a) 2.4 in
b) 7.2 in
c) 14.4 in
d) 4.8 in

1 answer

We can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr^2h

Plugging in the given values, we get:

271.4 = π(6^2)h

Simplifying:

271.4 = 36πh

h = 271.4 / (36π)

h ≈ 2.4

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is approximately 2.4 inches.

Answer: a) 2.4 in
