Question

Dominick wants to determine the maximum capacity of a cylindrical bucket that has a radius of 6 inches and a

height of 12 inches. What is the capacity of Dominick's bucket? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Don't
forget the label.

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cylinder, you multiply the base by the height.

First, let's find the base.

The base is a circle. To find the area of a circle, you square the radius and multiply by 3.14 (pi).

6²=36

36(3.14)=113.04

We multiply this by the height.

113.04(12)=1356.48

And we round to the nearest tenth.So, the maximum capacity of Dominick's bucket is 1356.5 cubic inches. If you use the entire pi number you would get something more around 1357.2, so that could be the answer if the first is incorrect.

Have a wonderful day! :D
