Hello, wised!

Do you know any formulas?
$\displaystyle \;\;$Have you done a search for "volume formulas"?

A right circular cylinder has a volume of 500 cu in.
If the base has a radius of 4 in, what is the altitude of the cylinder?
Round your answer to two decimal places

The volume of a right circular cylinder is: $\displaystyle \:V\,=\;\pi r^2h$
$\displaystyle \;\;$where $\displaystyle r$ is the radius of the circular base, and $\displaystyle h$ is the height (altitude).

You are given: $\displaystyle \,V\,=\,500,\,r\,=\,4$.

Can you solve for $\displaystyle h$ ?

It would be a lot easier for the tutors to check your work if you would post it, just like they posted theirs.

Thank you.
