Question

Round your answer to one decimal digit. The volume of a cylinder is 1 800 cm3. If the height of the cylinder is 40 cm then the diameter of the cylinder is

Answer 1

7.57 cm

Explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

π = 3.14

r= radius

h = height

1,800 = 3.14 x r² x 40

r² = 1800 /(3.14 x 40)

r² = 14.33121

√14.33121 = r

r = 3.785658 cm

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

Diameter = 2 x 3.785658 cm = 7.57cm
