Question

What is the volume of a right circular cylinder with a base diameter of 18 yd and a height of 3 yd?

Enter your answer in the box. Express your answer using π.

I've seen people answer with 763.4yd^3 or 254pi yd^3 . Please answer if you know 100%. Also please show your work.

Answer 1

`V=763.407` yd^3

Explanation:

Formula for volume of right circular cylinder.

`V=\pi r^(2)*6`

`r=(d)/(2)`

We are given the diameter (d) and the height (h).

First solve for r.

`r=(18)/(2)`

`r=9`

Now we have everything we need to find the volume. Plug in r into the volume formula.

`V=\pi *9^(2) *3`

`V=763.407` yd^3
