Acylindrical container is used to hold drinking water on the sidelines for a football team. the maximum capacity of the container is 26,460 ml. if the height of the container is 60 cm, what is the radius of the cylinder? (1 ml = 1 cm3) a. 21 cm b. 7.35 cm c. 220.5 cm d. 42 cm

To solve this we are going to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: 
where
is the volume of the cylinder in cube centimeters 
is the radius of the cylinder in centimeters 
is the height of the cylinder in centimeters 

We know for the problem that volume of our cylinder is 26,460 mL. Since 1 mL =, the volume of our cylinder is . We also know for our problem that the height of our cylinder is 60 cm, so . Lets replace those values in our formula and solve for :









We can conclude that the radius of the football team's cylindrical container is 11.8 cm
