1. **State the problem:**
We have a cylinder-shaped candy container with volume $125.6$ cubic centimeters and height $10$ centimeters. We need to find the radius $r$ of the container.
2. **Formula used:**
The volume $V$ of a cylinder is given by the formula:
$$V = \pi r^2 h$$
where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height.
3. **Substitute known values:**
Given $V = 125.6$, $h = 10$, and using $\pi \approx 3.14$, substitute into the formula:
$$125.6 = 3.14 \times r^2 \times 10$$
4. **Isolate $r^2$:**
Divide both sides by $3.14 \times 10$:
$$r^2 = \frac{125.6}{3.14 \times 10}$$
Show cancellation:
$$r^2 = \frac{125.6}{\cancel{3.14} \times \cancel{10}}$$
Calculate denominator:
$$r^2 = \frac{125.6}{31.4}$$
5. **Calculate $r^2$:**
$$r^2 = 4$$
6. **Find $r$ by taking the square root:**
$$r = \sqrt{4} = 2$$
**Final answer:**
The radius of the container is $2$ centimeters.
