If the volume of a right circular cylinder with radius 5 centimeters is about 550 cubic centimeters, what is the approximate height of the cylinder?
A) 110 centimeters
B) 35 centimeters
C) 22 centimeters
D) 7 centimeters
E) 3 centimeters

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. Given V = 550 cm³ and r = 5 cm, we can solve for h: 550 = π(5)^2h. Simplifying, 550 = 25πh, and solving for h gives h ≈ 7 cm.
