Question

What is the height of the cylinder below?

8 inches
11 inches
16 inches
22 inches
​

Answer 1

22 inches

Explanation:

We are given a figure of a cylinder with two known lengths. We are to determine whether which of them is the height of the cylinder.

We know that the base of the cylinder is round so the length mentioned on the round base is its diameter.

While the other length running from the top to bottom (or from left to right as shown in the picture) is the height of the cylinder which is 22 inches.

Answer 2

Hello!

The answer is: 22 inches.

Why?

We are given a cylinder shape, with the information about it's diameter, meaning that we also can know the radius.

The height of a cylinder goes from the bottom to the top of the shape, so, from the given shape, the height is 22 inches.

With the information, we can also calculate the volume of the cylinder using the following formula:

`V=\pi *r^(2)*h\\\\V=\pi *((Diameter)/(2))^(2) *h\\\\\V=\pi *((16)/(2))^(2)*22=\pi *8^(2) *22=4423.4inches`

Have a nice day!
