The height of a cylinder is equal to its radius. If the volume is 0.216…

The height of a cylinder is equal to its radius. If the volume is 0.216 (pi) m(^3). Calculate the radius.

  • A.
    0.46m
  • B.
    0.60m
  • C.
    0.87m
  • D.
    1.80m
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

volume of cylinder = (pi r^2)h
0.216(pi) m(^3) = (pi times r^2 times h)
Since r = h,
0.216 = r(^3)
r(^3) = 0.216
r = (sqrt[3]{0.216})
= 0.6
