Answer:

Explanation:

pi = 3.14

h = 2.60 m

d = 160.0 cm

Radius

r = d/2

r = 160.0 / 2

r = 80.0 cm

height

There are 100 cm in 1 meter. The units have to agree.

2.6 m * 100 cm / m

2.6 * 100 = 260 cm

Formula

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 80^2 * 260

V = 5224960 cm^3

If you want a more manageable number, you could convert this into m^3

That's done by

V = 5224960 / 1000000 = 5.22 m^3
