1. ## Hello!

The correct option is:

C. 18 inches.

## Why?

To calculate the volume of a cylinder we need to use the formula:

We are given a cylinder that has a volume of 288 π cubic inches and we know that its radius is equal to 4 inches, so, to calculate the height of the cylinder, we need to isolate it from the equation of volume, so, isolating we have:

Now, substituting the given information, we have:

Hence, we have that the correct answer is:

C. 18 inches.

Have a nice day!

The correct answer is option c 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Volume of cylinder =  πr²h

Where r – Radius of cylinder and

h – Height of cylinder

To find the height of cylinder

Here volume = 288π cubic inches and radius = 4 inches

Volume = πr²h

288π = π* 4² * h

288 = 16h

h = 288/16 = 18 inches

Therefore height of cylinder = 18 inches

The correct answer is option c 18 inches
