The formula for volume is
V = pi*(r2)*h
Since we want r, we can solve for r from the formula.
Divide both sides of the equation by pi*h. This will isolate r2.
V / (pi * h) = r2
Square-root both sides of equation to obtain r.
√[V / (pi * h)] = r
Finally, we can plug in the given values.
√[8.8 cm3 / (3.14 * 28 cm)] = r
√(8.8 cm3 / 87.92 cm) = r
√(0.1 cm2) = r
0.316 cm = r
