Question

Leann determines the volume of the cylinder shown using the formula V=Bh.

Answer 1

We have that the base of the cylinder is a circle, and the area of a circle can be calculated with the following equation:

`B=\pi\cdot r^2`

In this case, we have the following:

`\begin{gathered} \pi=3.14 \\ r=(d)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3 \\ \Rightarrow B=(3.14)(3)^2=(3.14)(3)(3) \end{gathered}`

therefore, the area of the base is B=(3.14)(3)(3) = 28.26 cm^2
