This problem is a piece of ice cream.
The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by π r 2 h . So we have
π r 2 h = 9 2 4 ( 1 )
The lateral area of a right circular cylinder is given by 2 π r h . So we have
2 π r h = 2 6 4 ⟹ π r h = 1 3 2 ( 2 )
Now, divide ( 1 ) by ( 2 ) , we have
π r h π r 2 h = 1 3 2 9 2 4
r = 7
