Question

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 2 and height 5?

Either enter an exact answer in terms of 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

V ≈ 62.83

Explanation:

Cylinder Formulas in terms of r and h

Calculate the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr2h

Calculate the lateral surface area of a cylinder (just the curved outside):

L = 2πrh

Calculate the top and bottom surface area of a cylinder (2 circles):

T = B = πr2

Total surface area of a closed cylinder is:

A = L + T + B = 2πrh + 2(πr2) = 2πr(h+r)

Solution

V=πr 2h = π · 22 · 5 ≈ 62.83185

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder in the nearest tenths is V ≈ 62.83
