Question

You have a cylinder-shaped bottle that you want to fill with sand. The diameter of the bottle is 5 inches and the height is 15 inches. What is the volume of your bottle? Use 3.14 to approximate pi. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

`\boxed{\boxed{\text{Volume =} \pi r^2h}}`


`\text {Radius = Diameter} / 2`


`\text {Radius = 5} / 2`


`\text {Radius = } 2.5`


`\text {volume} = 3.14 * 2.5^2 * 15`


`\text {volume} = 294 \text { in}^3`
