Question 672222: A container company wants to make a cylindrical can with a volume of 1188 cubic inches.The formula V=(pi)r^2h represents the volume of a cylinder.In this formula=, V represents the volume, r represents the radius of the cylinder's base, and h represents the height of the cylinder.Solve for h.What height should the company make the can if the radius of the base must be 6 inches?
( P.S ) The ^2 means that 2 is an exponent.

A container company wants to make a cylindrical can with a volume of 1188 cubic inches.
The formula V=(pi)r^2h represents the volume of a cylinder.
In this formula=, V represents the volume, r represents the radius of the
cylinder's base, and h represents the height of the cylinder.
Solve for h.
= V
Divide both sides by
h =
:
What height should the company make the can if the radius of the base must be 6 inches?
h =
h =
h = 10. 5 inches
:
:
Check this on a calc: enter pi*6^2*10.5, resulting in about 1188
