The volume of a cylinder formula is:
Volume= pi x radius^2 x height
The radius is 2.5 inches (it’s the same as 2 1/2), and 2.5^2= 6.25
The height is 6 inches
And we’ll use 3.14 for pi like you said.
So put it all into the formula:
3.14x6.25x8= 157 inches^3
Answer: 157 inches^3 (i think)
(so so so sorry if i’m wrong btw!!!)
