An oblique cylinder has a diameter of 14 units. The volume of the cylinder is 1176π cubic units. What is the height of the cylinder?

To find the height of the oblique cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is given by:

Volume (V) = πr²h

Where:

  • V is the volume of the cylinder.
  • r is the radius of the base of the cylinder.
  • h is the height of the cylinder.

Given that the diameter of the cylinder is 14 units, we can find the radius:

Radius (r) = Diameter / 2 = 14 units / 2 = 7 units.

Now, we can substitute the known values into the volume formula:

1176π = π(7)²h

We can simplify the equation by dividing both sides by π:

1176 = (7)²h

This simplifies to:

1176 = 49h

Next, we solve for h:

h = 1176 / 49

Calculating this gives:

h = 24 units.

Thus, the height of the oblique cylinder is 24 units.
