Question

The diameter of a cylinder is 10 feet. The height of the cylinder is 15 feet. What is the approximate volume of the cylinder rounded to the nearest cubic foot? Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

1,178 cubic feet

Explanation:

volume of cylinder is given by following formula

volume =
`\pi r^2l`

where r is the radius for cylinder and l is the height of cylinder.

given

diameter of cylinder = 10 feet

radius is half diameter

thus, radius = diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 feet

height of the cylinder = 15 feet.

`volume = \pi r^2l\\=> volume = 3.14* 5^2*15\\=> volume = 3.14* 25*15 = 1,177.5`

Thus, volume of cylinder is 1,177.5 cubic feet

volume of cylinder,rounded to the nearest cubic foot, is 1,178 cubic feet.
