Q. A cylinder has a radius of 4.8 feet and a height of 8.1 feet. What is the volume, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot, of the cylinder?(A) 989.4(B) 586.3(C) 244.3(D) 186.6
Identify Formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a cylinder.Volume = π×radius2×heightHere, radius = 4.8 feet, height = 8.1 feet.
Calculate Volume: Plug in the values and calculate the volume.Volume = π×(4.8)2×8.1= π×23.04×8.1= π×186.624
Use Value of π: Calculate using the value of π (approximately 3.14).Volume = 3.14×186.624= 586.31936 cubic feet, rounded to 586.3 cubic feet.
