Question

A cylinder has a radius of 3 centimeters. Sand is poured into the cylinder to form a layer 1 centimeter deep. What is the volume of sand in the cylinder?

Answer 1

9
`\pi`centimeters squared or 28.27 centimeters squared

Explanation:

The formula for volume is
`r^(2) \pi h`. The radius is 3 and the height is 1 so it is
`3^(2) \pi 1` which equals 9
`\pi`. 9
`\pi` is roughly 28.27.
