Answer:


72\pi~in.^3

Explanation:

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:


V = \pi r^2 h

where r = radius of the base = diameter/2

h = height of the cylinder


V = \pi r^2 h


V = \pi \left((6~in.)/(2) \right)^2 * 8 ~in.


V = 8~in\pi (3~in.)^2


V = 8~in.\pi (9~in.^2)


V = 72\pi~in.^3

You would use the formula:

volume =
\pi r^2*h

Substitute in the values:

(note: the radius is half the diameter)

volume =
\pi (3)^2*8

Solve:

Volume = 226.1946711

I'm not sure how far you require it rounded, or if you want the whole value so I will just leave the entire value. If you need assistance with rounding it to specific figures, just comment down below and I'll help.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
