Question

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 28 meters and a height of 9 and one half meters. Approximate using pi equals 22 over 7.

2,527 cubic meters
836 cubic meters
23,408 cubic meters
5,852 cubic meters

Answer 1

The radius of the cylinder is half of the diameter, which is 28/2 = 14 meters.

Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height, we can calculate:

V = (22/7) x 14² x 9.5
V ≈ 5,852 cubic meters

Therefore, the approximate volume of the cylinder is 5,852 cubic meters.
