Question

A cylinder has a base area of 28.2 m2 and a height of 3.1 m. Estimate the volume of the cylinder. A) 31 m3 B) 31 m2 Eliminate C) 48 m2 D) 84 m3

Answer 1

The Correct Answer for this expression would be D) 84 m3

Explanation:

Answer 2

the answer can't be C or D because the unit of volume is always cubed. The formula for volume of cylinder is (pi)(r^2)(h) . The pi(r^2) part is the formula for area of a circle which is what the base of the cylinder is. Fortunately the area is already given as 28.2. Plug that into the volume formula and plug in 3.1 for the height and multiply. I get 87.42 and the answer choice B seems to be the closest option
