Question

A cylinder has a base diameter of 12 inches and a height of 13 inches. What is its volume in cubic inches, to the nearest tenths place?

Answer 1

Given:

• Diameter= 12 in
• Height= 13 in

To find:

The volume of the given cylinder.

Solution:

First, we'll have to find the raduis.

`d = 2r`

`r = (12)/(2)`

`r = 6 \: in`

Now, we can work out the volume.

`V = \pi {r}^(2) h`

`V = \pi * {6}^(2) * 13`

`V = 1470.26536 \: {in}^(3)`

`\large\boxed{\sf{V = 1470.3 \: {in}^(3)}}`

Hence, the volume of the given cylinder is 1470.3 cubic inches.
