Question

a cylinder has radius 1.6 meters. it’s volume is 95 cubic meters. what’s the height to the nearest tenth of a meter?

Answer 1

The height of cylinder is 11.8 meters

Solution:

The volume of cylinder is given as:

`V = \pi r^2h`

Where,

r is the radius and h is the height of cylinder

From given,

V = 95 cubic meters

r = 1.6 meters

h = ?

Substituting the values we get,

`95 = 3.14 * 1.6^2 * h\\\\95 = 8.0384 * h\\\\h = (95)/(8.0384)\\\\h = 11.818 \approx 11.8`

Thus height of cylinder is 11.8 meters
