The volume of the cylinder is 987.7 cube units

Step-by-step explanation

given that

height of the cylinder h=5 1/2 feet=11/2 feet

diameter is 2 3/4 times the height

therefore diameter d= h*2
(3)/(4) =
(11)/(2)* (11)/(4)

=121/8

volume of cylinder=
$\pi r^(2)h=3.14*(d/2)^2 *11/2\\$

=
$3.14*(((121/8)/(2) )^2 *11/2\\=$

=987.7 cube units
