A cylinder has a volume of 83 in3 and is 10 in. tall. What is the radius of the cylinder in inches? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

To find the radius of the cylinder you will use the volume formula and solve for the radius.

V = pi x r^2 x h

83 = 3.14 x r^2 x 10

83 = 31.4 x r^2; divide both sides by 31.4

r^2 = 2.6; find the square root of 2.6

r = 1.6 in.

The radius is approximately 1.6 in.
