Question

how do you solve for a variable using the given measurements.(so it gives me a picture of a cylinder whose radius is 9.3ft and the height is "y".) the volume of this cylinder is 3 ft cubed

Answer 1

You want the height?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

\[V=\frac{1}{3}(area_. base)y\]

Answer 4

The base is\[(area_.base)=\pi r2\]so,\[V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 y\]

Answer 5

Multiply both sides by 3, and divide both sides by pi.r^2, and you'll have isolated y:\[\frac{3V}{\pi r^2}=y\]

Answer 6

You have the volume and radius, so all you need to do is sub. in your values and obtain y.
