Question

A cylindrical vase has a volume of 192.5 cubic centimeters. The height of this vase is 5 centimeters. The formula for the volume of the cylinder is πr^2h where r is the radius and h is the height of the vase. Find the radius of this vase.(Given that π ≈ 22 / 7 )

Answer 1

3.5 cm

Explanation:

v = πr²h

r = radius

π = 22/7

h = height

192.5 = 22/7 x 5 x r²

divide both sides of the equation by (7/22 x 1/5)

192.5 x 7/22 x 1/5 = r²

r² = 12.25

find the square root of both sides

r = 3.5cm
