Julie has a cylinder containing sugar. The cylinder has a volume of 288π cubic centimeters. Which of the following could be the dimensions of Julie's sugar container?


radius: 4 centimeters

height: 18 centimeters


radius: 3 centimeters

height: 32 centimeters


diameter: 12 centimeters

height: 8 centimeters


diameter: 16 centimeters

height: 9 centimeters


radius: 12 centimeters

height: 8 centimeters


radius: 4 centimeters

height: 12 centimeters

Verified Answer :

The volume of a cylinder is:
Volume   =   π • r² • height
288 PI = PI r^2 height
height = 288 / r^2

Using this formula to compare height and radius,
The first 3 answers are correct and the last 3 answers are wrong.

Diameter: 12 centimeters.

Height: 8 centimeters.


Radius: 4 centimeters.

Height: 18 centimeters.


Radius: 3 centimeters.

Height: 32 centimeters.
