<PRE><B>Question 743584</B>
The height of a cylinder is 4 centimeters greater than the radius. If the volume of the cylinder is approximately 265 cm^3, what is the radius of the cylinder? 
-------------------
Volume = (base area)*(height)
----------
265 = (pi*r^2)(r+4)
------
265/pi = r^3 + 4r^2
------
r^3 + 4r^2  - (265/pi) = 0
---------
I graphed that cubic and found the following:
r = 3.38 cm
