SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given parameters


\begin{gathered} height=7.5m \\ radius=0.65m \end{gathered}

STEP 2: Write the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder


Volume=\pi r^2h

STEP 3: Calculate the volume by substituting the values


\begin{gathered} Volume=\pi*0.65^2*7.5 \\ Volume=\pi*0.4225*7.5 \\ Volume=\pi*3.16875 \\ Volume=9.954921721 \\ Volume\approx10.0m^3\text{ to the nearest tenth} \end{gathered}

Hence, the volume of the given cylinder is approximately 10.0m³
