Question

A right circular cylinder has a height of 5 1/2 ft and a diameter of 2 3/4 times its height.

What is the volume of the cylinder?
Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

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
