Answer: 1607.7 in³
Explanation:
In order to find the volume of a cylinder, you must find the area of its circle on the top or bottom and multiply that by the height.
The area of a circle is
, meaning you must multiply pi by the radius squared. In this problem, you are given the radius, which is 8 inches. When you square 8, you get 64. 64 is your radius squared.
Now, you multiply your radius squared with pi. This question tells you to use 3.14 as pi. So, you multiply 3.14 by the 64 you got earlier.
64 inches²· 3.14 = 200.96 inches²
200.96 is the area of the circle on the top and on the bottom of the cylinder (both of these circles have the same area).
Now, all that's left to do is to multiply 200.96 by your height, which is 8.
200.96 inches² · 8 inches = 1607.7 inches³
Therefore, your volume is 1607.7 inches³.
