Everytime I do the problem, I don't get the answer right. That's why I need help.

anonymous · Answer

ok well you know that the radius is half the diameter 
so r=2.5
the height is 3x that
h=7.5
you can solve from there

OH. that's where I was getting it wrong. I thought the height was 3 itself. Okay thank you!
