Problema Solution
A cylinder that stands 1.4 feet high holds 3600 cubic inches of water. How wide is the cylinder in inches?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 ft = 12 in
1.4 ft = 1.4*12 in = 16.8 in
h = 16.8 in the height of the cylinder
V = 3,600 in^3 the volume of the cylinder
d = the width or the diameter of the cylinder, d>0
V = (d/2)^2 pi * h
(d/2)^2*3.14*16.8 = 3600
by solving we find:
d = 16.52 in
