Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the cylinder has a radius of the cylinder is 3 inches, then r=3

Given that the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 60, then we can use the formula:

$L.S.A = 2\pi \: rh$

We substitute the values to get;

$60 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3h$

We solve for h to get:

$h = \frac{60}{2 \times 3.14 \times 3} = \frac{10}{3.14} = 3.1847$

In this case the correct answer is 3.18 inches.
