Question

what is the volume of the cylinder? I have the answer as 2540.7. But it is not correct.I have to round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the volume of a cylinder. To do that we will use the following formula:

`V=(\pi D^2)/(4)h`

Where "D" is the diameter and "h" is the height. replacing the values:

`V=(\pi(20ft)^2)/(4)(17ft)`

Solving the operations:

`V=1700\pi ft^3`

In decimal notation:

`V=5340.7ft^3`
