Question

What is the volume of a cylinder of 8in by 0.5 ft in cubic inches

Answer 1

The volume of cylinder is 1205.76 cubic inches

Solution:

We have to find the volume of cylinder

The volume of cylinder is given by formula:

`V = \pi r^2h`

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height of cylinder

Given dimensions are:

Radius = 8 inches

Height = 0.5 feet

Convert feet to inches

1 feet = 12 inches

Therefore,

0.5 feet = 12 x 0.5 = 6 inches

Thus, we have got,

height = 6 inches

Substitute r = 8 inches and h = 6 inches in formula:

`V = 3.14 * 8^2 * 6\\\\V = 3.14 * 64 * 6\\\\V = 1205.76`

Thus volume of cylinder is 1205.76 cubic inches
