Question

The local deli sells cheese Wheel. Each wheel is a cylinder. The height of the cheese wheel is 2.8 inches in the volume of the cheese wheel is 155.1 in.³ what is the radius of the cheese wheel?

Answer 1

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

V = πr²h

where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Substituting the given values, we get:

155.1 = πr²(2.8)

Simplifying, we can divide both sides by 2.8π:

155.1 / (2.8π) = r²

Solving for r, we can take the square root of both sides:

r = √(155.1 / (2.8π))

Using a calculator, we get:

r ≈ 4.22

So the radius of the cheese wheel is approximately 4.22 inches.
