Answer:
9\ ft

Explanation:

Given

Height of the cylinder
h=5\ ft

Volume of the cylinder
V=1271.7\ ft^3

The volume of the cylinder is given by
V=\pi r^2h

Consider r be the radius of the circle


\Rightarrow 1271.7=\pi r^2\cdot 5\\\\\Rightarrow r^2=(1271.7)/(3.142* 5)\\\\\Rightarrow r^2=80.948\\\Rightarrow r=8.99\approx 9\ ft

Thus, the radius of the cylinder is
9\ ft
