Question

anonymous · Answer

Use the diagonal of the square to get the radius of the circle and try from there.

anonymous · Answer

so the diagonal of the square is = the the radius
correct me if im wrong
d = s x $$\sqrt{2}$$ 
d = 1 x $$\sqrt{2}$$ 
d = $$\sqrt{2}$$ ?

anonymous · Answer

i think im wrong. :)) no. im wrong. haha

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, I mistyped. You have the diameter of the cylinder. Sorry, don't let that mess you up. 
Now that you have the diameter and the volume, use the formula to find the height.

No, you are correct.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 proves you.

I'm kinda confused. What do you mean by the diameter of the cylinder?
