Question 293747: I need to build a container which will look like a cylinder. The volume is 720 cubic inches, the base is a circle, and the radius is 3 in. I know that the bottom of the figure is app. 19 in because I found the circumference of the circle to get the base. I am having trouble figuring out the height.. Please help

--------------
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah+=+720
720+=+pi%2A9%2Ah
h = 720/(9*pi) = 80/pi
h =~ 25.5 inches
