Answer:
r ≈ 1.49 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle inside the cylinder
Where the radius r is the base line , then
r² + 3.53² = 3.83²
r² + 12.4609 = 14.6689 ( subtract 12.4609 from both sides )
r² = 2.208 ( take square root of both sides )
r = [tex]\sqrt{2.208}[/tex] ≈ 1.49 ft ( to the nearest hundredth )
