Question

The volume of a cylinder with height h and radius r can be found using the formula
`v = \pi2h`Sketch a cylinder with radius 3 feet and height 5 feet, then find the volume ft

Answer 1

We are asked to find the volume of a cylinder of radius 3 feet and height 5 feet by using the formula:

Volume = pi * R^2 * height

which in our case renders:

Volume = pi * 3^2 * 5 = 141.371669 ft^3

SInce your problem doesn't give the number of decimals for rounding, please try at least 2 decimals like in: 141.37.

The EXACT answer would be to write it using the number pi. But if you are asked to type a decimal number, you will need to round it (pi has INFINITE number of decimals) Does it say anywhere in the problem how many decimals to use? Or does it say to type the EXACT answer?

OK, the EXACT answer would be:

`\text{Volume}=45\, \pi`

so type 45 and use the Greek letter for "pi" as shown above.

Do you want me to sketch the cylinder as well?
