Answer:
7.5/π inches or 2.3885350318 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 45 sq inches as the lateral area of the cylinder, and the height being 6, we can use the simple equation a=h(π*2r). a/h, or 45/6 is 7.5. We can stop there and assume the answer is 7.5/π inches is the answer... Assuming pi is 3.14, 7.5 over 3.14, the answer (11 decimal places) would be 2.3885350318 inches.
