Question

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 2 and height 6?

Either enter an exact answer in terms of pi or use 3.14 and enter your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Volume of cylinder = 24
`\pi` or 75.36 cubic units

Explanation:

We are given the following details about the cylinder:

Radius of Base, r = 2 units

Height of Cylinder, h = 6 units

Please refer to the figure attached for knowing the structural details of a cylinder.

The attached image shows how a cylinder looks like and the radius and height of the cylinder are also represented and labeled.

Radius of base of cylinder is shown as 'r'. The base circle and top circle are equal in size.

Height of cylinder is shown as 'h'.

The volume of a cylinder is formulated as:

`\text{Volume of Cylinder = }\pi r^(2) h\\\Rightarrow \pi * 2^(2) * 6\\\Rightarrow 24 \pi`

Putting value of
`\pi` as 3.14:

Volume = 75.36 cubic units
