Answer:

The length of the radius of the cylinder is 6cm

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cylinder

Given data

Volume of cylinder v= 180πcm³

Height of cylinder h =5cm

Radius r=?

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given as

v= πr²h

We can substitute our data and solve for radius

180π=π*r²*5

180=r²*5

r²=180/5

r²=36

r=√ 36

r= 6cm
