You can put this solution on YOUR website!
diameter = 10 inches
radius = 5 in
..
Volume V = 549.5 cu.in
V= pi*r^2*h
549.5=pi*5^2*h
h= 549.5/pi*25
h = 6.996 in
=7 inches

Hi

***Note Volume of a cylinder = pi%2Ar%5E2h

Using pi = 3.14

question states (r = 5in)

549.5in^3 = 3.14*25in^2 *h

549.5in^3/ 3.14*25in^2 = h

7in = h
