Answer: 3cm

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is calculated by using the formula:

Volume = πr²h

where,

π = 3.14

r = unknown

h = height = 8cm

Volume = πr²h

3.14 × r² × 8 = 226

25.12r² = 226

Divide both side by 25.12

r² = 226/25.12

r² = 8.9968

r² = 9 approximately

r = ✓9

r = 3

The radius is 3cm
