Question

A right circular cylinder has a base radius of 6 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the volume of this cylinder? A. B. C. D.

Answer 1

Answer:
`432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}` or
`1356.48\text{cubic centimeters}`

Explanation:

Volume of right circular cylinder =
`\pi r^2 h`

Given: Radius = 6 centimeters

Height = 12 centimeters

Then, the volume of this cylinder =
`\pi (6)^2 * (12)= 432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}`

Hence, the volume of this cylinder =
`432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}`

At
`\pi=3.14`

The volume of this cylinder
`=432*3.14=1356.48\text{cubic centimeters}`
