We need to utilise one important formula in this question which is the volume of a cylinder formula. We need to work out the height of the cylinder given the following information that the radius is 8 inches and the volume is 384 cubic inches. We can set up an equation to find the value of the height so,
→ π × r² × h = 384
⇒ Substitute in 8 for 'r'
→ π × 8² × h = 384
⇒ Simplify
→ π × 64 × h = 384
⇒ Divide both sides by 64 to isolate π and h
→ π × h = 6
⇒ Divide both sides by π to isolate 'h' and find the value of the height
→ h = 1.9098593171
The height of a cylinder with a volume of 384 cubic inches and a radius of 8 inches is 1.9 inches
