1.58 feet
2.39 feet
3.57 feet
4.78 feet

Answer 1

Step-by-step ex2.39 is corrc i did the testplanation:

Answer 2

2.39 feet

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

`V=\pi r^(2)h`

where

r is the radius of the base of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

we have

`V=30\ ft^3`

`r=2\ ft`

`\pi =3.14`

substitute

`30=(3.14)(2^(2))h`

Solve for h

`30=(3.14)(4)h`

`h=30/12.56`

`h=2.39\ ft`
