Question 426434: Oatmeal often comes in a container shaped like a cylinder. Suppose the volume V of an oatmeal container is 4,618.1 cubic centimeters. Solve the equation
V = pi r^2 h for h. Then find the height h of the container if the radius is 7 centimeters. Round to the nearest tenth.

Hi

V(cylinder) = pi*r^2 h   |Note the use of ^ (uppercase 6)

 r = 7cm  V = 4618.1 cm^3

 V(cylinder) = pi*r^2 h

  V/pi*r^2 = h

 4618.1/(3.14*49) = h

       30.0cm = h  (rounded to the nearest tenth)
