radius: 4 centimeters
height: 18 centimeters

radius: 3 centimeters
height: 32 centimeters

diameter: 12 centimeters
height: 8 centimeters

diameter: 16 centimeters
height: 9 centimeters

radius: 12 centimeters
height: 8 centimeters

radius: 4 centimeters

Answer 1

Diameter: 12 centimeters.

Height: 8 centimeters.

Radius: 4 centimeters.

Height: 18 centimeters.

Radius: 3 centimeters.

Height: 32 centimeters.

Answer 2

The volume of a cylinder is:
Volume   =   π • r² • height
288 PI = PI * r^2 * height
height = 288 / r^2

Using this formula to compare height and radius,
The first 3 answers are correct and the last 3 answers are wrong.
