You should always remember that a cylinder consists of circles that are all over each other to form the height of the cylinder.
So the volume of the cylinder= the area of the surface circle* the height.

V=540=\pi r^2*h= \pi r^2*15
Then,

r^2= (540)/(15 \pi )
So,
r= \sqrt{(540)/(15 \pi )}
radius is approximately 3.4cm

Hope this helps.
