.

Which cylindrical container do you talk about ?


Also, if the problem talks about a spherical ball, giving its diameter is just full information;
a correctly formulated Math problem should not define its radius, if the diameter is given.


Diagnosis:  as the problem is worded,  printed,  posted and presented,  it is a  FAKE.

It is  NOT  a  Math problem.

Length, width, and height of a cylinder? A cylinder may have EITHER a length OR a height, and a DIAMETER.

This standard squash ball will fit in a cylinder of diameter 4 cm and height 4 cm. No calculation should be necessary.
