Answer:

10 yards

Explanation:

You want the height of a cylinder of radius 3 yards that has a volume of 282.6 cubic yards, using pi = 3.14.

Volume

The volume of a cylinder is given by ...

V = πr²h

Using the given values, this is ...

282.6 yd³ = 3.14(3 yd)²·h = 28.26h yd²

Dividing by the coefficient of h, we find it to be ...

h = (282.6 yd³)/(28.26 yd²) = 10 yd

The height of the cylinder is 10 yards.
