Question

The radius of a large cylindrical oatmeal box is 6 cm, and its height is 23 cm. What is the volume of the box, rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of a cylinder (V) = }\pi* r^2* h \\ r\text{ = radius = 6cm} \\ h\text{ = height = 23cm} \\ \pi=\text{ 3.14} \end{gathered}`
`\text{Volume of large cylindrical oatmeal box = 3.14 }*6^2*23=2599.92\text{ cubic cm}`

To the nearest whole number the volume = 2600 cubic cm

`V=2600cm^3`
