Julie has a cylinder containing sugar. The cylinder has a volume of 288π cubic centimeters. Which of the following could be the dimensions of Julie's sugar container?
Accepted Solution
A:
Everything here revolves around the formula for the volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h:
V = pi*r^2*h
Here, V= 288*pi cubic cm = pi*r^2*h, or
288 = r^2*h
Unfortunately, you have not shared the answer choices. But I can invent values for r and h and find the corresponding h and r:
Suppose that r = 5 cm. Then r^2 = 25 cm^2, and (25 cm^2)*h = 288 cm^3. Solving for h, 288 cm^3 h = ---------------- = 11.52 cm 25 cm^2
