Question

A cylinder has a circular base with a diameter of 12 ft. the height of the cylinder is 4 ft. what is the volume if the cylinder rounded to the nearest whole number use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

To solve this problem you you would use 3.14 and multiply it by your radius squared, then multiplied by 4. You would end up getting 452ft cubed.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 452 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to calculate the volume of a cylinder having a circular base of diameter 12 ft. and height 4 ft.

If 'r' be the radius of the base and 'h' be the height of the cylinder, then the volume of the cylinder is given by

`V=\pi r^2h.`

Here, h = 4 ft and since the diameter of the base is 12 ft., so the radius will be

`r=(12)/(2)=6~\textup{ft.}`

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder will be

`V=\pi r^2 h=3.14* 6^2* 4=452.16\sim 452~\textup{cubic feet}.`

Thus, the answer is 452 cubic feet.
