Answer:

The radius of the water bottle is 2.72cm

Explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating what the radius of the cylindrical water bottle is given its volume and height.

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder is V = pi * r^2 * h

From the question, we know that V = 179 cm^3. , h = 7.7cm while r = ?

we substitute these values into the volume equation.

179 = pi * r^2 * 7.7

179 = 3.14 * r^2 * 7.7

179 = 24.178 * r^2

r^2 = 179/24.178

r^2 = 7.403

r = square root 7.403

r = 2.72 cm
