water. The diameter of the glass is 3 in. How tall is the glass?
Use 3.14 for T.
A. 4 inches
B. 6 inches
CC. 7 inches
D. 8 inches

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

D. 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cylinder this time.

Given data

Volume of cylindrical shape v=

56.52 inch³

Diameter of cylindrical glass d= 3

inch

But raduis r =diameter/2=3/2= 1.5

inch

We know that the the expression for the volume of a cylinder is given as

v= πr²h

Substituting our given data to solve for the height h

56.52= 3.14*(1.5)²*h

56.52= 7.065h

h= 56.52/7.065

h= 8 inches
