Answer:

1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(10+2x)(14+2x) = 221

4x² + 48x - 81 = 0

4x² + 54x - 6x - 81 = 0

2x(2x + 27) - 3(2x + 27) = 0

(2x + 27)(2x - 3) = 0

x = -27/2, 3/2

x = 3/2 or 1½ or 1.5 inches

What is the exact volume of the cylinder?
lesantik [10]
Volume of the cylinder=area (circle) x height
area (circle)=πr²
r=radius=4 in.
area=π(4 in)²=16π in²
height=8 in

Volume of the cylinder=(16π in²)(8 in)=128π in³≈402.12 in³

Answer=  128π in³        or        402.12 in³
