Question

What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of a cylinder that has a height of 15 cm and a diameter of 12 cm? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

Radius = 12 ÷ 2 = 6cm

Volume = πr²h
Volume = π(6)²(15)
Volume = 1696.46 cm³ (nearest hundredth)

Answer: Volume = 1696.46 cm³

Answer 2

Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of a cylinder:
Volume =
`\pi (radius)^2(height)`

We are given:
The height = 15 cm
The diameter = 12 cm
A radius is half the diameter =
`(12)/(2)` = 6 cm

Apply the formula!
V =
`\pi (6)^2(15)`
= 540
`\pi`
= 1696.46 cm³ ( to the nearest hundredth )
