A soup company uses a cylindrical can for their soup with a radius of 5 cm. If the volume of the can is 250π cm3, what is the height of the can? Explain how you determined the answer.
Recall the formula for the volume of a cylinder: [tex]V=\pi\cdot r^2h[/tex] We can plug in what we know to get [tex]250\pi=\pi\cdot 5^2h[/tex] This is easy to solve: divide by [tex]\pi\cdot 5^2[/tex] to get [tex]10=h[/tex].
