Q. A cylinder has a base diameter of 12m and a height of 18m. What is its volume in cubic m, to the nearest tenths place?Answer:V=m3
Identify formula for volume: Identify the formula for the volume of a cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.
Calculate base radius: Calculate the radius of the base of the cylinder.The diameter of the base is 12 meters, so the radius is half of that, which is 12m/2=6m.
Substitute radius and height: Substitute the radius and height into the volume formula.Using the radius of 6m and the height of 18m, the volume V is V=π×(6m)2×18m.
Calculate volume: Calculate the volume. V=π×36m2×18m=π×648m3.
Round volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth.Since π is approximately 3.14159, the volume V is approximately 3.14159×648m3≈2035.7m3 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
