You can put this solution on YOUR website! A cylindrical drum has a diameter of 3 yards and a volume of 65 cubic yards. What is the height of the drum? (Hint: Use V = )
/***************************/ Variables Used
V = volume
d = diameter
r = radius
h = height
/***************************/
As you stated, the volume of a cylinder is found with
We know V = 65 and we know d = 3.
Since the radius = 1/2 diameter, (r) = 1 1/2 or 3/2
To separate h, we will change the :
Divide both sides by so so from
we substitute 65 for V and 3/2 for r giving us:
giving a decimal approximation of h as 9.1956 yards
& bob's your uncle!
