A cylindrical tank holds about 615.44
cubic inches of helium. The radius of the tank
is 3 1/2 (3 and one half)inches. What is the height of the tank?
Use 3.14 for Pi. (Please give explanation/show work)

Answer:

The height is 15.992 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The equation for a cylinder is [tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex].  In this case, the equation looks like [tex]615.44=\pi (3.5)^2h[/tex]

2. Isolate h by dividing both sides of the equation by [tex]\pi (3.5)^2[/tex]

3. This leaves us with [tex]\frac{615.44}{\pi (3.5)^2}=h[/tex]

4. Solve for the left side, which leaves us with h = 15.992 (rounded to the nearest thousandth)
