Solve the problem. Use 3.14 for ð. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. A cylindrical container has a diameter of 10 in. and a volume of 549.5 in3. What is the height of the container?

2 answers

The volume V of a cylinder is πr²h, where r=radius, h=height.
With diameter of 10", the radius is 5".
Thus
V=549.5=π(5)²h
and solving for h:
h=549.5/(π(5)²)=7"
