Question

Gabriella has a salt shaker in the shape of a right circular cylinder with a radius of 5 cm and a height of 12 cm. What is the volume of this salt shaker?

Answer 1

I mean 60 that is V= H×radius

Answer 2

The volume of the cylinder is
`300\pi \text{ cm}^3`

Explanation:

Volume of a right circular cylinder:
`V=\pi r^2 h`

r = radius

h = height (both measured in the same units!)

`r=5\text{ cm}, \, h=12\text{ cm}`

Substitute those values into the formula.

`V=\pi (5^2)(12) = \pi (25)(12) = 300\pi \text{ cm}^3`

That is an exact answer. If you need an approximation, use something like 3.14 or 3.1416 .
