Answer:

r = 13 / sqrt(pi)

Explanation:

Volume of a cylinder is the same as the volume of a prism, because a cylinder is basically a circular prism.

Area of the base times height.

Area of the base, which is a circle, is pi*r^2.

So all together this makes pi * r^2 * h = V And we know the volume and height, so let's fill those in.

pi * r^2 * 30 = 5070 So now we just use algebra to solve for r

pi * r^2 * 30 = 5070

pi * r^2 = 5070/30

pi * r^2 = 169

r^2 = 169/pi

sqrt(r^2) = sqrt(169/pi)

r = 13 / sqrt(pi)
