Geometry

Volume of a Cylinder Formula: V = πr²h

  • r is radius
  • h is height

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

Volume V = 2000π ft³

Height h = 20 ft

Radius r = unknown

Step 2: Solve for r

  1. Substitute in variables [Volume of a Right Cylinder Formula]: 2000π ft³ = πr²(20 ft)
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Isolate r term: 100 ft² = r²
  3. Rewrite: r² = 100 ft²
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides: r = 10 ft
