Question

How do i find the volume of a cylinder?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is 226 in^3

Like you've already written it down, the formula of the volume of a cylinder is

`volume \: = \: base \: * \: height`

Since the base of any cylinder is a circle, we can find the area of this circle with the formula

`a \: = \pi \: {r}^(2)`
With r representing the radius.

Therefore, the volume of any cylinder can be found with the formula

`v \: = \pi \: {r}^(2) \: h`
With h representing the height.

Filling in this formula gives us the following

`v \: = \pi * {3}^(2) * 8 = 226.08`
Hence, the volume of this cylinder is about 226 in ^ 3.
