Problema Solution
The volume of a cylinder with a height of 10.0 cm is 502.4 cm3. Find the radius of the base of the cylinder. Use 3.14 as a value for pi and round to the nearest tenth
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'r' represent the radius of the base of the cylinder, r>=0.
h = 10.0 cm the height
V = 502.4 cm^2 the volume
V = r^2*pi*h
r^2*3.14*10 = 502.4
