Answer:

y ≈ 11.04 ft

Explanation:

We know that the formula for volume of a cylinder is


V=\pi r^2h where

  • V is the volume in units cubed
  • r is the radius
  • h is the height

Thus, we must solve for the height, y by plugging in 3000 for V, and 9.3 for r into the volume formula:


3000=\pi (9.3)^2y\\3000=86.49\pi y\\3000/(86.49\pi )=y\\11.04092564=y\\11.04=y
