Answer:

4in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of cylinder = 6in

Volume = 144πin³

Unknown:

Height of the cylinder = ?

Solution:

The volume of a cylinder is the product of its base area and height;

Volume of cylinder = base area x height

The unknown parameter is the height and substitute for the parameters given;

144π = π x 6² x h

144π = 36πh

Divide through by 36π and find h;

h = 4in
