Question

a mailing tube in the shape of cylinder has a height of 24 inches and a radius of 3 inches. what is the volume, in cubic inches, of the mailing tube?​

Answer 1

The volume of the mailing tube is 678.6 square inches to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula;

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

Since the mailing tube is in the form of a cylinder, we use this formula to find its volume.

We substitute h=24 and r=3 to obtain,

`V=\pi * {3}^(2) * 24`

`V=216\pi {in}^(2)`

`V=678.6{in}^(2)`
