Question

Its pitcher is shaped like a cylinder with a radius of 1 centimeter and a height of 7.8 cm. What's this pitcher plant's approximate volume?​

Answer 1

The pitcher plant's approximate volume is 24.492
`\text{cm}^(3)`.

Explanation:

We are given that a pitcher is shaped like a cylinder with a radius of 1 centimeter and a height of 7.8 cm.

Let the radius of a cylinder = r = 1 cm

and the height of a cylinder = h = 7.8 cm

As we know that the volume of a cylinder is given by;

The volume of a cylinder =
`\pi r^(2)h`

=
`3.14 * 1^(2) * 7.8` {taking approximate value of
`\pi` to be 3.14}

=
`3.14 * 7.8`

= 24.492
`\text{cm}^(3)`

Hence, this pitcher plant's approximate volume is 24.492
`\text{cm}^(3)`.
