    C = 2 × π × r

    4 = 2 × π × r

    2 = π × r

    r = 2 / π

    r = = 0.6366197723675814 cm

    C = 2 pi r

    r = C / 2 pi

    r = 4 cm / (2x3.1411592.....)

    r = 0.6366 ... cm

    Ignore the height and so its radius is 4/(2*pi) = 0.64 cm rounded to the nearest hundredth

    Radius r = Circumference C/(2π)

    r = 4/(2π) ~ 0.64 cm

    Height not relevant

    C = 2 × pi × r

    4 = 2 × 3.1416 × r

    2 = 3.1416 × r

    r = 2 / 3.1416

    r = 0.636618... cm

    The height is irrelevant.

    You just need the circumference formula for the circle at the end:

    C = 2 x pi x r

    4 = 2 x 3.142 x r

    r = 0.637 cm

    4 = 6.283r

    r =

    Ignore the height... the cross-section is a circle which you said has a circumference of 4 cm.

    C = 2πr

    r = C/(2π)

    So just divide the circumference by 2π to get the radius.

    r = 4/(2π)

    r = 2/π

    r ≈ 0.64 cm
