alright, you have the given which is the following:
- V = 1131.0 cm^3
- L = H = 40 cm
and we know that the general formula of the volume of the cylinder is :
\[V= \pi r^2 h\]
you have V and you have H, substitute and find R
^_^

give it a try :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The volume of a cylinder is \[V=\frac{1}{3}(area_.base)(height)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you sure? because that's the volume of a cone loki

no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont get it then
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[1131/40\pi = r^2\]\[r = \sqrt{1131/40\pi} = 9.42 = 9 cm \]
substitute and solve for r ^_^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you get it now ? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup thanks
