Question

A right circular cylinder has a base radius of 5 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the volume of this cylinder?

Answer 1

Volume of the cylinder = πr²*h
V = π*5²*12=300π cm³ ≈ 942 cm³

Answer 2

The volume of right circular cylinder is 942 cubic cm.

Explanation:

Given : A right circular cylinder has a base radius of 5 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters.

To find : What is the volume of this cylinder?

Solution : The formula of volume of right circular cylinder is

`V=\pi r^(2) h`

where, r is the radius r= 5cm

h is the height h=12 cm

`\pi =3.14`

Substitute the value in the formula,

`V=\pi r^(2) h`

`V=(3.14)* 5^(2)* 12`

`V=3.14* 25* 12`

`V=942 cm^3`

Therefore, The volume of right circular cylinder is 942 cubic cm.
