To find radius $ r $ use formula:

$$ V = \dfrac{ h ^{ 2 } \cdot r \cdot \pi}{ 3 } $$

After substituting $V = 277.09\, \text{cm}$ and $h = 15\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ 277.09\, \text{cm} = \dfrac{ 15\, \text{cm} ^{ 2 } \cdot r \cdot \pi}{ 3 } $$$$ 277.09\, \text{cm} \cdot 3 = 15\, \text{cm} ^{ 2 } \cdot r \cdot \pi $$$$ 831.27\, \text{cm} = 225\, \text{cm}^2 \cdot r \cdot \pi $$$$ r = \dfrac{ 831.27\, \text{cm} }{ 225\, \text{cm}^2 \, \pi} $$$$ r = 1.176\, \text{cm}^-1 $$
