Answer:

V = 508.938
in^(3)

Explanation:

The equation to find the volume of a cylinder is:


V = \pi r^(2) h

r = radius

h = height

In the question it gives us the height (2 inches) and the diameter (18 inches).

We need to find the radius from the diameter. To do this, divide the diameter by 2:

r = 18/2 = 9

Now, plug everything into the equation and solve:


V = \pi (9)^(2) (2)

Use a calculator to get the answer:

V = 508.938
in^(3)

(Side note: I don't know what place to round to because in the question it says to "round to the nearest place" but doesn't say tenth, hundred, etc. If the question on your homework says tenth then the answer would be 508.9, hundredth = 508.94, thousandth = 508.938)

Hope this helps!! If you have questions please comment them under this!
