Question

Consider the given oblique cylinder, which has a diameter, d, of 2 inches, a height, h, of 3 inches, and a slant height, l, of 3.1 inches. Approximately what is the volume of the cylinder? Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

The volume of cylinder is
`9.42 in^3`

Explanation:

Diameter of cylinder = 2 inches

Radius of cylinder =
`(Diameter)/(2)`

Radius of cylinder =
`(2)/(2) = 1 inches`

Height of cylinder = 3 inches

Volume of cylinder =
`\pi r^2 h`

Volume of cylinder =
`3.14 * 1^2 * 3`

Volume of cylinder =
`9.42 in^3`

Hence the volume of cylinder is
`9.42 in^3`
