A cylindrical water tank holds 26 litres when full.
The water tank is 36cm tall
Work out the radius of the tank to 2dp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. 26 liters = 26000 cm%5E3.


2. Volume of a cylinder V = pi%2AR%5E2%2AH, hence, R = sqrt%28V%2F%28pi%2AH%29%29.

   Substituting data you have  R = sqrt%2826000%2F%283.14%2A36%29%29 = 15.16 cm (approximately).
