Question

Find the volume of the figure shown here. round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder is given by the product of the area of its base times its height. If the base of the cylinder has a radius r and the height of the cylinder is h, then its volume V is given by the formula:

`V=\pi r^2h`

Substitute r=5cm, h=8cm and use π=3.14 to find the volume of the cylinder:

`\begin{gathered} V=3.14(5cm)^2(8cm) \\ =3.14\cdot25cm^2\cdot8cm \\ =3.14\cdot200cm^3 \\ =628cm^3 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is:

`628cm^3`
