Question

A chef pours 550 cubic centimeters of batter into a baking pan in the shape of a right circular cylinder. If the pan has a radius of 6cm, how high does the batter fill the baking pan? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

we know that
volume of a right circular cylinder=pi*r²*h
where
r ----> is the radius
h---> is the height

in this problem
r=6 cm
h=?
Volume=550 cm³
so
V=pi*r²*h------> h=V/[pi*r²]----> h=550/[3.14*6²]----> h=4.87 cm
Round to the nearest tenth
h=4.9 cm

the answer is
4.9 cm
