Answer:

The volume is 83.6 cubic inches.

Explanation:

We know that the battery is cylindrical, so we can use the formula:

$\pi r^(2) h$

We can use 3.14 for
$\pi$ , and we know that the radius is 2.2 with a height of 5.5.

Let's set up the equation:

3.14 · 2.2² · 5.5= volume

=83.5868, which rounded to the nearest tenth would equal 83.6.

Hope this helps! :)
