Answer 2

Volume of a cylinder is \[V = \pi r^{2}h \]

Answer 3

it's not asking the volume, its asking the height though.. that means i divide right?

Answer 4

We are looking for h. So we can solve for h and then substitute known values. \[h = \frac{ V }{ \pi r^{2} }\]

Answer 5

What is V and r?

Answer 6

v= 170 r= 2.5
