Question

Mike bought a new graduated cylinder for his chemistry class. It holds 266.24 mL of liquid. If the cylinder has a radius of 3.2 cm,

then how tall is the cylinder?
(1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter)
A.
26 cm
B. 83 cm
C. 42 cm
D. 6.922 cm

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cylinder.

h represents the height of the cylinder.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Volume = 266.24 mL

1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. It means that 266.24 mL = 266.24 cubic centimeter

Radius = 3.2 cm

Therefore

266.24 = 3.14 × 3.2² × h

266.24 = 32.1536h

h = 266.24/32.1536

h = 8.3 cm
