Question

16) if a cylinder has a volume of 1884 cubic centimeters and a height of six cm, explain how to find the radius of the base circle. (Hint: work backwards and remember that r-squared means r x r )

Answer 1

10 cm

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is:

V = πr²h

Plug in the known values:

1884 cm³ = 3.14 × r² × 6 cm

Solve for r²:

r² = (1884 cm³)/(3.14 × 6 cm)

r² = 100 cm²

Solve for r:

r = √(100 cm²)

r = 10 cm
