The formula I mean, in terms of its radius

anonymous · Answer

125pi

anonymous · Answer

A=πr2

shubhamsrg · Answer

Right.
You have been given this area to be equal to 25 pi in2
Equating pi r2 and 25 pi , can you solve for r ?

anonymous · Answer

is my ans is correct

anonymous · Answer

26 pi? I'm very lost

shubhamsrg · Answer

In your question, it says 'Find the volume of a cylinder with a base area of 25pi in2' , i.e. base area , that is area of the circle is 25pi in2.
Simply solve for r from 
pi r2 = 25 pi
