find the height of the figure below if the volume is 174.33 cm^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1369631317973:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The volume of a cylinder is...\[V = \pi r ^{2}h \] And you are just looking to solve for h!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still cant find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 15.6 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area of a circle is \[A=\pi r^2\] where pi is 3.14159265353... generally use 3.14 unless instructed otherwise find the area of the circle then divide it from the volume of the cylinder to get the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i did not get 15.6 as the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still cant find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, what is the area of the circle- first calculate that and show me your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 29.516

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i did 3.14*4.7

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

Area = π r² = 3.14 * 4.7 * 4.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got 69.3626

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

h = Volume / Area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2.513314

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its not the answer i got here

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

what are the answer choices?

OpenStudy (kenljw):

\[\int\limits_{o}^{2.5cm}2pirdr \int\limits_{0}^{h}dh = V = 174.33 cubic cm\] solve for h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 10.04cm, 5.52cm ,11.04cm , 15.6cm

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

Did you give us the Volume right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the volume is 174.33cm^3

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

what is the radius is it the radius given to you or the diameter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 4.7cm

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

something is not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

for the given volume and the radius , that is the height 2.51 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im guessing they are trying to confuse me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 2.51 is not one of the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can confirm that 2.51cm is the correct height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats weird the answer is not here

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

See if you are looking at the right set of answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i am

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 10.04 if 4.7 was the diameter instead of the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes Thank You
