This is like asking, if you could melt the cube, how high would the level be in the cylinder?

The cube is 11%5E3 cm%5E3.
We do not know how tall is the cylinder but if h is how long the melted cube in the cylinder, then we expect this volume to be pi%2A28%5E2%2Ah.

Equation for the situation is highlight%28h%2Api%2A28%5E2=11%5E3%29;
Solve for h.
