Hello!

The volume of a cylinder is found by using the formula: V = πr²h.

The problem has given us the height of the cylinder, which is 14.7 centimeters, and the diameter which is 10.5 centimeters. The volume of a cylinder requires the radius, so therefore, to find the radius, divide the diameter by half, and that will give the radius.

R = 10.5 / 2

R = 5.25 centimeters

With that radius and the height, we can find the volume of the cylinder.

V = π(5.25)²(14.7)

V = 27.5625(14.7)π

V = 405.17π, 1272.23 (multiplied by 3.14), 1272.88 (multiplied by π)

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is 1272.88 centimeters³.
