Answer:

r ≈ 7.963 cm

Explanation:

Given the following dimensions of a cylinder:

Volume (V) = 3785 cm³

Height (h) = 19 cm

In order to find the value of the radius, it is necessary to determine the formula for finding the radius of a cylinder.

The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is: V = πr ²h

To isolate the radius, start by dividing both sides by π × h :


\mathsf{\frac{V} {\pi*\:h}\:=\:\frac{\pi\:r^(2)\:h} {\pi*\:h}}


\mathsf{\frac{V} {\pi*\:h}\:=\:r^(2)}

Next, take the square root of both sides to isolate r :


\mathsf{\sqrt{(V)/(\pi*\:h)} = \sqrt{r^(2)}}


\mathsf{\:r\:=\:\sqrt{(V)/(\pi*\:h)}}

Now, we can finally substitute the given values into the formula for radius, r:


\mathsf{\:r\:=\:\sqrt{(3785)/(\pi*\:19)}}

r ≈ 7.963 cm

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is 7.963 cm.
