Answer: 7 π r² + π r³

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The general formula for the volumen, V, of a cylinder with radius r and height h is:

V = π r² h

2) Now you have the condition that the height is 7 inches greater than the radius, that is:

h = 7 + r

3) Replace h with its expression

V = π r² (7 + r)

4) Expand the product (use distributive property):

V = π (7r²) + π r³ = 7 π r² + π r³

Answer: 7 π r² + π r³
