Question 779813: how do you find the height and radius of a cylinder with a fixed volume of 10000 cubic feet
I have tried using the equation V=(pi)r sqared (h)
I am confused when the example talks about finding the area...
Please help me with equation so I can understand how to solve the problem.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
V=pi*r^2*h
pi*r^2*h=10000
h=10000/(pi*r^2)
.
r^2=10000/(pi*h)
r=100/sqrt(pi*h) Take the square root of each side.
