Question

what is the volume in cubic in of a cylinder with the height of 17 in and a base radius of 18in to the nearest tenth place

Answer 1

The volume V of a cylinder with radius r is the area of the base B (circle) times the height h . That is:

`V=r^2\pi h`

In our case, we have that r = 8 in and h= 17 in. Then, we have that the volume of the cylinder would be

`V=r^2\pi h=(8)^2\pi(17)\text{ = }1088\pi\text{ }\approx3418,05`

Then, we can conclude that the volume of the cylinder would be

3418,05 in^3
