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?

The volume of a right circular cylinder is found by using this formula: V=pi/4*r2*height Note: In this case, altitude and height are the same thing. Fill in the measurements you are given and solve. 500 = (3.14)(4)2(height) 500 = (3.14)(16)(height) 500 = (50.24)(height) height = approximately 9.95 inches
