Use the larger of the values to be safe.

The solver feature will graph the left side of the equation (volume, y = 30), then the right side of the equation (y = 10r 2), and finally will calculate the intersection of the two graphs to find the solution.

The radius is 0.98 in.

r= 3 r 2 = 32 = 9 < 14 r = 4 r 2 = 42 = 16 > 14

Use 4, the larger of the values, to be safe.

The answer is : r = 2.06

One very useful feature of the calculator is its ability to store and recall equations. The solution from various values for known variables can be easily obtained by recalling an equation which has been stored and giving values to the known variables. The Graphic method gives a visual solution by drawing a graph.
