Question

2 pol 5. A cylinder is 10 inches long and has a diameter of 8 inches. What is the approximate volume of the cylinder? Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi.

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Length (l) = 10 in,

Diameter (d) = 8 in; radius (r) = d/2 = 8/2 = 4 in

pi = 3.14

The volume of a cylinder is calculated thus:

`\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2l \\ V=3.14*4^2*10 \\ V=502.4in^3 \end{gathered}`
