A typical box of cereal has demensions 40 cm by 30 cm by 5 cm. Determine the dimensions of a cylindrical container that can hold the same amount of cereal.
--------------
Vol = 40*30*5 = 6000 cc
-----
For a cylinder,
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah+=+6000
h+=+6000%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29
Pick a radius, solve for h
