Question

Determine the volume of a cylinder bucket if the diameter is 8.5 in. and the height is 11.5 in.

Answer 1

`V=652in^3`

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula;

`V=\pi r^2 h`

The cylinder bucket has a diameter of 8.5 in.

The radius is half of the diameter.

This implies that;

`r=(8.5)/(2)`

`\Rightarrow r=4.25\:in`

and the height is
`h=11.5 \:in.`

We substitute all these values including
`\pi=3.14` to obtain;

`V=(3.14) (4.25)^2 (11.5)\:in^3`

`V=(3.14) (18.0625) (11.5)\:in^3`

`V=652.237:in^3`

To the nearest cubic unit, the volume of cylinder bucket is
`V=652in^3`
