Question

A museum there is a sculpture in the shape of a cylinder. The cylinder has a diameter of 36 feet and a height of h feet. Which equation can be used to find V, the volume of the cylinder in cubic feet?

Group of answer choices
A π (36)2h

B π (36h)2

C π (18)2h

D π (18h)2

Answer 1

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

Given: The cylinder has a diameter of 36 feet and a height of h feet.

To find: volume of the cylinder in cubic feet

Solution:

Diameter of a cylinder = 36 feet

Radius of a cylinder = Radius ÷ 2

`=(36)/(2) =18` feet

Height of a cylinder = h feet

Volume of a cylinder =
`\pi r^2h`

Put
`r=18` feet

Therefore,

Volume of a cylinder =
`\pi (18)^2h` cubic feet

So, option C is correct.
