Answer:

1205.76 in³

Explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is ...

C = 2πr

Solving for r, we get ...

r = C/(2π)

The volume of a cylinder is given by ...

V = πr²h

Using the above expression for r, we can find the volume in terms of circumference and height:

V = π(C/(2π))²h = C²h/(4π)

Using the given numbers, we find the volume to be ...

V = (50.24 in)²(6 in)/(4·3.14) = 1205.76 in³

The volume of the given cylinder is 1205.76 cubic inches.
