What is the height of a cylinder with a radius of 7mm and a volume of 441pi (pi = 3.14).

1 answer

To find the height of a cylinder when the radius and volume are known, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius, and
  • \( h \) is the height.

From the problem, we know:

  • \( V = 441\pi \)
  • \( r = 7 \text{ mm} \)

First, we can substitute the known values into the volume formula:

\[ 441\pi = \pi (7^2) h \]

Calculating \( 7^2 \):

\[ 7^2 = 49 \]

Substituting this back into the equation gives:

\[ 441\pi = \pi (49) h \]

To simplify, we can divide both sides of the equation by \( \pi \):

\[ 441 = 49h \]

Now, to solve for \( h \):

\[ h = \frac{441}{49} \]

Calculating \( \frac{441}{49} \):

\[ h = 9 \]

Thus, the height of the cylinder is:

\[ \boxed{9 \text{ mm}} \]
