Question

Determine the height of the can of beans(cylinder) given the volume of the

can is 314 in and a radius of 5 inches. Round to the nearest whole inch.
V = strah
a. 4 in
b. 20 in
c. 500 in
d. 5 in

Answer 1

4in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of can = 314in

Radius = 5in

Unknown:

Height of the cylinder = ?

Solution:

The height of a cylinder is mathematically given as;

V = πr²h

Where r is the radius

h is the height

Input the parameters and solve for h;

314 = 3.142 x 5² x h

h = 4in

The height of the cylinder is 4in
