Answer:

8 inches

Explanation:

Nacho cheese

v= Pi×radius×2×height

v = 3.14×8×2×4 = 200.96

jalapeño

3.14×4×2=25.12

200.96÷25.12=8

the height is 8

to check your work you can do

(multiply by 8 and see if it equals 200.96)

3.14×4×2×8 = 200.96

since the volume is the same as the volume for nacho cheese we can say that 8 inches for height is correct
