Answer:

0.078 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The volume of a cylinder is
    V=\pi r^(2) h.
    r is the radius of the cylinder,
    h is the height of the cylinder, and
    V is the total volume.
  2. We can divide both sides by
    9\pi to isolate the height. We now have
    (220)/(9\pi )=h.
  3. We can plug in
    220 for the value of
    V, and insert 3 as
    r. Now, we have
    220 = \pi (3^2)(h).
  4. We can simplify the right side by finding the value of
    3^2, which is
    3*3, or
    9. We now have
    220 = 9\pi h.
  5. Divide both sides by
    9\pi so we can isolate the height! We now have
    (220)/(9\pi )=h.
  6. It would be best to use a calculator at this point. Plug the above equation into a calculator; otherwise, replace
    \pi with
    3.14 and simplify the fraction.
  7. You should get about
    07.7809... which we can round to the nearest hundredths (since this is Geometry, I am assuming you know how to round).
  8. Our final answer is
    07.78 inches.

Hopefully this was of use!

Given :

  • volume = 220 in³
  • radius = 3 in

Solution :


\large\boxed{ \mathrm{volume = \pi {r}^(2)h }}


  • 220 = (22)/(7) * 3 * 3 * h


  • (220 * 7)/(22 * 3 * 3) = h


  • (10 * 7)/(3 * 3) = h


  • h = (70)/(9)


  • \boxed{h \: = 7.78 \: \: in}
