Question

Patty is using a cylinder shape container to hold 48 in³ of liquid. The height of the container is 6 inches tall. What is the best approximation for the radius of the container?

Answer 1

1.6 in

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

height =6 inches

r is the radius of the cylindrical container

48 in3 =πr2 * 6

6= πr2

π= 22/7

6*7/22=r2

42/22 =r2

21/11=r2

r2= 21/11

r = SQRT(21/11)

r= 1.38169855942
