Question

A container of candy is shaped like a cylinder and has a volume of 125.6 cubic centimeters.if the height of the container is 10 centimeters what is the radius of the container

Answer 1

radius = 2

_________________________

Volume of a cylinder is πr^2h.

πr^2h = 125.6

π = 3.14

h = 10

3.14 × 10 × r^2 = 125.6

31.4r^2 = 125.6

r^2 = 125.6/31.4

r^2 = 4

r = 2.

Answer 2

The radius of the container is 2

Explanation:

the formula for the volume of a cylinder is a = pi*r^2*h, where r is the radius, a is the area, and h is the height.

we input the data from the question into the equation and we get

125.6 = 3.14*(r^2)*10

we simplify and get

12.56 = 3.14*(r^2)

divide both sides by 3.14 and we get 4 = r^2

then, we find the square root of both sides

2 = r
