Question

A storage container in the shape of a right cylinder has a diameter of 8 inches and a height of 10 inches. what is the volume of the container?

a. 125.66 in³
b. 251.33 in³
c. 502.65 in³
d. 56.55 in³

Answer 1

c. 502.65 in³

Explanation:

For a cylinder:

V = πr²h

r = d/2 = 8 in. / 2 = 4 in.

V = 3.14159 × (4 in.)² × 10 in.

V = 502.65 in.³
