Question

A right circular cylinder has a volume of 500 cu in. If the base has a radius of 4 in., what's the altitude of the cylinder? Round your answer to two decimal places. A. 31.25 in. B. 19.79 in. C. 9.95 in. D. 29.84 in

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 9.95 in

Explanation:

formula for area of a cylinder: πr^2*h

Answer 2

Hello!

The area of a cylinder formula- Area = Pi * radius squared * height 

In this case we are looking for height (altitude) 

plug in our known values 

500 = area 
4 = radius 
Pi ~ 3.141592654 

to find height... 

500 = 3.141592654 * (4)^2 * height 

500 = 3.14 * 16 * height 

500 = 50.26 * height 

divide both sides by 50.26.. 

9.947 = height 


9.95 is the Correct Answer ( letter C)

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
