Answer:

6 m

Explanation:

The missing dimension can be found using the volume formula with the known values filled in. This gives an equation that can be solved for z.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula ...

V = πr²h

__

Using the given values, we have ...

1696.5 m³ = 3.14(z²)(15 m)

z² = (1696.5 m³)/(47.1 m) ≈ 36.0191 m² . . . . divide by 47.1 m

Taking the square root, we find z to be ...

z ≈ √(36.0191 m²) ≈ 6.00 m

The value of z is about 6 m.
