The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = pi x radius^2 x height

From the information given,

diameter = 3

radius = diameter/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

height = 14

pi = 3.14

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

Volume = 3.14 x 1.5^2 x 14 = 98.91

Rounding to the nearest whole number,

Volume = 99 ft^3
