To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder, h is the height of the cylinder, and π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14.
Given the dimensions you provided, the radius of the base of the cylinder is 2.5 cm and the height is 2 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = π(2.5 cm)^2(2 cm)
= 3.14(6.25 cm^2)(2 cm)
= 39.2 cm^3
So the volume of the cylinder is approximately 39.2 cubic centimeters.
