Answer:

4021.2 cm³

Explanation:

you start by getting the radius, the radius is half the diameter which in this case half of 16 is 8 so 8 is your radius and you already know the height which is 20, now that we have the radius and the height we can start

the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is πr² · h

so are formula would be π8² · 20 which turns into π64 · 20 which then turns into 1280π or 4021.238...

which you then said we need to round the nearest tenth so 4021.238 to the nearest tenth is 4021.2 cm³
