The equation to find the volume of a cylinder is:
V=%28pi%29r%5E2%28h%29
In this problem, you are given the Volume and radius. So solve the volume equation above for the height (h).
h=V%2F%28%28pi%29r%5E2%29
Next, plug in the given values for the Volume and the radius. Use 3.14 for thevalue of pi:
h=250%2F%283.14%2A5%5E2%29
highlight%28h=3.18%29inches
Good Luck,
