Answer:

The radius of the container is 2 centimeter

Explanation:

Given that a container of candy is shaped like a cylinder

Given that volume = 125.6 cubic centimeters

Height of conatiner = 10 centimeter

To find: radius of the container

We can use volume of cylinder formula and obatin the radius value

The volume of cylinder is given as:

Where "r" is the radius of cylinder

"h" is the height of cylinder and is constant has value 3.14

Substituting the values in formula, we get

Taking square root on both sides,

Thus the radius of the container is 2 centimeter
