A circular cylinder is circumscribed about a right prism having a square base of one meter on an edge. The volume of a cylinder is 6.283 cubic m.
\n" ); document.write( " Find its altitude in meters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse of the square base of the prism = the diameter (d) of the base of the cylinder.
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%281%5E2+%2B+1%5E2%29\"
