Question

Find the missing dimension of the cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Volume = 3000 ft³
9.3 ft
The missing dimension is about
feet.

Answer 1

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`
