Q. A cylinder has a base diameter of 20ft and a height of 10ft. What is its volume in cubic ft, to the nearest tenths place?Answer: V=ft3
Write Volume Formula: Write down the formula for the volume of a cylinder.The volume of a cylinder ( extit{V}) is given by the formula V = \[pi\]r^2h, 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 given as 20 feet. The radius is half of the diameter, so r=diameter/2=20ft/2=10ft.
Substitute Values: Substitute the values of the radius and height into the volume formula.Using the radius r=10ft and the height h=10ft, we substitute these values into the volume formula: V=π(10ft)2(10ft).
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume of the cylinder. V=π(10ft)2(10ft)=π(100ft2)(10ft)=π(1000ft3)=3141.59ft3 (using π≈3.14159).
Round to Nearest Tenth: Round the volume to the nearest tenth.Rounding 3141.59ft3 to the nearest tenth gives us 3141.6ft3.
