Question

You have a cylinder-shaped bottle that you want to fill with sand. The diameter of the bottle is 5 inches and the height is 15 inches. What is the volume of your bottle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is

`V=\pi r^2h`

We are given a diameter of 5, which means that the radius is 2.5. The height is 15. Filling in:

`V=\pi(2.5)^2(15)`

which gives you, in terms of π:

V = 93.75π in³ or if you are multiplying in π,

V = 294.5 in³
