Answer:
2.6 in
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume (V) of cylinder = 258¾ in³
Height (h) of cylinder = 12 in
Radius (r) =.?
NOTE: Pi (π) = 3.14
The radius of the cylinder can be obtained as follow:
V = πr²h
258¾ = 3.14 × r² × 12
258.75 = 37.68 × r²
Divide both side by 37.68
r² = 258.75 / 37.68
Take the square root of both side
r = √(258.75 / 37.68)
r = 2.6 in
Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is 2.6 in.
