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.
pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah = V
Divide both sides by pi%2Ar%5E2
h = V%2F%28%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29%29
:
What height should the company make the can if the radius of the base must be 6 inches?
h = 1188%2F%28%28pi%2A6%5E2%29%29
h = 1188%2F%28113.1%29
h = 10. 5 inches

Check this on a calc: enter pi*6^2*10.5, resulting in about 1188
