OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the formula for volume of a clyinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V=πr2h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok tell me where the 324 pi came from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im leaving Im not understanding the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok bye

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you are given height you know the volume so lets use the volume of a cylinder \[V=\pi(r)^{2}h\] we need to work out the radius so use this formula to figure it out then we want the area of the base of the pillar, which is the area of a circle with radius which we work out area of a circle \[A=pir^{2}\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

so you could just divide the volume of the pillar by the height to get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 36?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

36pi

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes

would appreciate a medal for best answer if I helped :)
