Answer:

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
