Question

Jennifer stores her fishing pole in a cylindrical case. The cylinder has a diameter of 5 inches and a height of 50 inches.Which is closest to the volume, in cubic inches, of the cylinder?

Answer 1

Volume of Cylinder = 981.75 cubic inches

Explanation:

There is no answer choice shown, but i will answer this using formula for volume of cylinder and round the answer to 2 decimal places.

You match it with the choices that u have.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula
`V=\pi r^2 h`

Where

V is the volume

r is the radius (half of diameter)

h is the height

We know diameter is 5, so radius is 2.5

also, the height is 50

We simply plug it in the formula and solve:

`V=\pi r^2 h\\V=\pi (2.5)^2 (50)\\V=981.75`
