Use the equation:

 

V= (πr^2) (h)

 

Plug in the values you have...

 

2= (πr^2) (10)

 

Divide each side by ten...

 

.2 = πr^2

 

Square root both sIdes

 

πr= 0.4472135954999579

 

Αnd the estimated answer is that above.

2L = 2000 cm^3 so 

 

pi*r^2*10 = 2000

 

r^2 = 2000/(pi*10)

 

r = sqrt(200/pi) ≈ 7.98 cm
