You buy a quart of I've cream that comes in a cylinder tub. A quart has a volume of about 58 cubic inches. The tub has a height of 5 inches. What is the radius of the ice cream tub? Use 3.14 for pi.
To find the radius of the ice cream tub, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
Volume = πr^2h
Given:
Volume = 58 cubic inches
Height (h) = 5 inches
π = 3.14
58 = 3.14 * r^2 * 5
58 = 15.7 * r^2
r^2 = 58 / 15.7
r^2 = 3.6908
r = √3.6908
r ≈ 1.92
Therefore, the radius of the ice cream tub is approximately 1.92 inches.
