Lets find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter D=10 inches and lenght L= 20 inches. First we need to notice that the diameter is twice the size of the radius: D=2r. Then we write the equation for the volume of the cylinder. it is the base times the height: V=pi*r^2 * L. Now we input the nubmers in the equation: V=3.14*(D/2)^2 * L where r=D/2=5 inches and after calculating we get: V=1570 inches^3
