Answer: 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is equal to pi*radius^2*height.
We can replace the height with 12 inches and the volume with 942 cubic inches.
Therefore, 942 in^3 = pi*radius^2*12 inches
We can divide both sides by 12:
pi*radius^2 = 78.5 inches^2
We can divide both sides by pi:
Radius^2 = About 24.99 inches^2
We can square both sides:
Radius approximately equals 5 inches.
