From the image you uploaded, the function for the area \( A(r) \) of the cylinder in terms of its radius \( r \) is given as:

\[
A(r) = 2\pi r^2 + 16\pi
\]

You are asked to find the radius \( r \) when the area is \( A = 2.92 \).

### Step 1: Set the equation for \( A(r) \) equal to 2.92.
\[
2\pi r^2 + 16\pi = 2.92
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \( r \).
First, subtract \( 16\pi \) from both sides:
\[
2\pi r^2 = 2.92 - 16\pi
\]

Then, divide both sides by \( 2\pi \):
\[
r^2 = \frac{2.92 - 16\pi}{2\pi}
\]

Let's calculate this expression. math

# Constants
pi = math.pi

# Given values
A = 2.92
height = 8  # Height is given as 8 inches, but it's not needed for this part

# Solving for r^2
r_squared = (A - 16 * pi) / (2 * pi)
r_squaredThe result of the calculation for \( r^2 \) is negative:

\[
r^2 = -7.535 \text{ (approximately)}
\]

Since the square of a real number cannot be negative, there is no real solution for \( r \) when the area is 2.92. This indicates that the given area value is not feasible for the cylinder's dimensions.
