Question

Find the volume of the cylinder in terms of 3.14 and to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The volume formula of a cylinder is :

`V=\pi r^2h`

From the problem, we have :

r = 3 in and h = 2 in

Using the formula above, the volume will be :

`\begin{gathered} V=\pi(3)^2(2) \\ V=3.14(9)(2) \\ V=56.52 \end{gathered}`

The answer rounded to the nearest tenth is V = 56.5 in^3
