The measurement which is closest to the  height of this cylinder is: C. 48 in.

Given the following data:

  • Volume of cylinder = 8,478 cubic inches
  • Radius of cylinder = 15 inches.

To determine the measurement which is closest to the  height of this cylinder in inches:

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

Where:

  • r is the radius.
  • h is the height.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]8478 = 15^2h\\\\8478 = 225h\\\\h=\frac{8478}{225}[/tex]

Height, h = 37.38 inches.

Closest height = 48 inches.
