Answer:
[tex]4.91 in[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
a bucket has the form of a cylinder, which has the following formula for its volume:
[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]
where r is the radius and h is the height.
Since we need to find the radius, we solve for r:
[tex]r^2=\frac{V}{\pi h}\\ \\r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h} }[/tex]
and since we know according to the problem that:
[tex]V=885in^3[/tex]
and
[tex]h=11.7in[/tex]
substituing these values:
[tex]r=\sqrt{\frac{885in^3}{(3.14)(11.7in)}}\\ \\r=\sqrt{\frac{885in^3}{36.738in}}\\\\r=\sqrt{24.0895in^2}\\\\r=4.908in[/tex]
the radius is: [tex]4.908in[/tex] which can be rounded to [tex]4.91 in[/tex]
