Larry is building a cylindrical silo that must have a volume of 65m3. the height of the silo must be 6 meters, what is the radius?
formula for the volume of a cylinder is
V = pi*r^2*h
we have
65 = (22/7)*r^2*6 note that pi is represented by (22/7)
multiply both sides of = by 7
455 = 22 *r^2 *6
455 = 132 * r^2
divide both sides of the = by 132
r^2 = 455/132 and
r = sqrt(455/132) = 1.86 m
