The volume of a cylinder is 117.1 cubic feet, and its height is 15 ft. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.

Sagot :

Answer:

3.15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:      

                                                                                              V

Volume of a cylinder:  πr²h.  Solving for r², we get r² = ---------

                                                                                             πh

Here, we get r² = (117.1 ft³) / (3.14·15 ft) = 2.48 ft² and r = √(2.48 ft²), or

1.58 ft, so that the diameter is 2r, or 3.15 ft

The diameter of the base of the cylinder is 3.15 ft.
