Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is 9.42ft³

Explanation:

radius = half of diameter

r = 2ft /2 = 1ft

To calculate the volume of a cylinder we have to use the following formula:

v = volume

h = height = 3ft

π = 3.14

r = radius = 1ft

v = (π * r²) * h

we replace with the known values

v = (3.14 * (1ft)²) * 3ft

v = (3.14 * 1ft²) * 3ft

v = 3.14ft² * 3ft

v = 9.42ft³

The volume of the cylinder is 9.42ft³
