Dimensions of the rectangular block are

Length (l) = 7 cm, breadth (b) = 4 cm and height (h) = 2.75 cm

Volume of the rectangular block (V) = lbh = 77 cm3

Radius of recast cylinder (R) = 7 cm

Let H be the height of the recast cylinder and V1 denotes its volume.

begin mathsize 12px style straight V space equals space πR squared straight H
straight V subscript 1 space equals space 22 over 7 cross times 7 cross times 7 cross times straight H
straight V subscript 1 space equals space 154 straight H space cm cubed end style

Rectangular block is recasted into a cylinder. Therefore volume of the cylinder is equal to the volume of the rectangular block.

begin mathsize 12px style straight V subscript 1 space equals space straight V
154 straight H space cm cubed space equals space 77 space cm cubed
straight H space equals space 77 over 154 space cm space equals space 1 half space cm space equals space 0.5 space cm end style

Thus, the height of the recast cylinder is 0.5 cm.
