Explanation:

The formula for the volume (V) of a cylinder is given by:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the base and \( h \) is the height.

The diameter (\( d \)) is twice the radius (\( r \)), so \( r = \frac{d}{2} \).

Given a base diameter of 10 inches, the radius (\( r \)) is \( \frac{10}{2} = 5 \) inches. The height (\( h \)) is 19 inches.

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

\[ V = \pi \times (5)^2 \times 19 \]

Calculate this expression to find the volume, and round to the nearest tenth.

Let's calculate the volume of the cylinder:

\[ V = \pi \times (5)^2 \times 19 \]

\[ V \approx 475.647 \, \text{cubic inches} \]

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume is approximately \( 475.6 \) cubic inches.
