Question

A right cylinder has a radius of 5 m and a height of 3 m. What is the volume of the cylinder?

Answer 1

volume = 75(pi) m^3 (exactly)

volume = 235.6 m^3 (approximately)

Explanation:

volume of cylinder = pi * radius^2 * height

volume = pi * (5 m)^2 * 3 m

volume = 75(pi) m^3 (exactly)

volume = 235.6 m^3 (approximately)

Answer 2

V = 75 pi m^3

or approximately

V =235.5 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h

where r is the radius and h is the height

V = pi * 5^2 *3

V = 75 pi m^3

If we use 3.14 as an approximation for pi

V =235.5 m^3
