Formula for rect. prism vs. cylinder. Solve for radius... (sorry busy with another problem atm)

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

Ohhh, no problem! Thank you! @kittiwitti1

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Sorry, I'm back. Do you get the gist of what I'm saying? I can clarify. ☺

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

Umm, yes please! I think the answer might be C, but I just need to make sure (:

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Rect. prism V = whl Cylinder V = [pi]•r^2• h

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

Ohhh, okay! So the answer is C! Right? XD

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Since the area of the circular base in the cylinder is the [pi]•r^2, it's basically saying the values for the variables in both equations are the same (respectively)

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

ohhhhh!! Thank you!

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Yeah ☺ (mother yells because I had a Q about circle area -_- )

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

haha, thank you!!
