The volume of a cylinder is found with the equation
V = πr²h, where V = volume, r = radius of the base, and h = height. So, we can plug in the volume and height you have to calculate the radius:
(Sorry that the pi symbol doesn't show up, the equation program is messed up:)
[tex]V= (pi)r^2h\75pi=(pi)r^2(3)\75pi=3pi *r^2[/tex]
Then, divide each side by 3 pi:
[tex]75pi=3pi *r^2\75pi/3pi=3pi/3pi*r^2\25=r^2\r=5[/tex]
So, the radius of the base of the cylinder is 5 inches.
