Question

The following cylinder has a volume of 627.8 cm3 and a height of 19.5 cm

What is the radius of the cylinder?

Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

5.7
3.2
1.7
10.1

Answer 1

3.2

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is:

Vol = pi•r^2•h

Fill in what is given.

627.8 = pi•r^2•19.5

use 3.14 for pi.

627.8 = 3.14•r^2•19.5

simplify.

627.8 = 61.23r^2

divide by 61.23

10.253 = r^2

sqrt both sides

sqrt10.253 = r

3.2 = r

Answer 2

Explanation:

To find the radius of the cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

Volume = π * radius^2 * height

Given:

Volume = 627.8 cm^3

Height = 19.5 cm

π (pi) = 3.14

Substituting the given values into the formula:

627.8 = 3.14 * radius^2 * 19.5

Simplifying the equation:

627.8 = 60.93 * radius^2

To solve for the radius, we can divide both sides of the equation by 60.93:

radius^2 = 627.8 / 60.93

radius^2 = 10.29

Taking the square root of both sides:

radius ≈ √10.29

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

radius ≈ 3.2

Therefore, the approximate radius of the cylinder is 3.2 cm.
