Answer:

Explanation:

so you want to know the formula for the volume of a cylinder

volume (cylinder) = area of the circular base * height

2279.64 = area of a circle + height

area of a circle is
\pi
r^(2)

they tell us the radius is 11 feet so r = 11

circle =
\pi
11^(2) = 38013271

2279.64 = 38013271 * height

2279.64 / 38013271 = height

5.996958 = height in feet
