Question

Liam used a container shaped like a cylinder to catch rainwater. The dimensions of the container are 18 cm radius and 13.5 cm tall. Which measurement is closet to the volume of the container in cubic centimeter a 13741 cm, b 3281 cm , c 763 cm are d 3435 cm

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder is

`V=\pi(r)^2h`

Where r = 18, h = 13.5, and pi = 3.14.

`\begin{gathered} V=\pi\cdot(18)^2\cdot13.5 \\ V\approx13,741(cm)^3 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the approximated volume is 13,741 cubic centimeters.
