Q. A cylinder has a base radius of 2 inches and a height of 14 inches. What is its volume in cubic inches, to the nearest tenths place?Answer: V= inches 3
Formula Explanation: To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula V=πr2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
Calculate Radius Squared: First, we need to square the radius. The radius is 2 inches, so squaring it gives us 22=4 square inches.
Calculate Volume: Next, we multiply the squared radius by the height of the cylinder. The height is 14 inches, so we calculate 4 square inches ×14 inches =56 cubic inches.
Multiply by Pi: Now, we need to multiply this result by π (pi), which is approximately 3.14159. So, we calculate 56 cubic inches ×π≈56×3.14159.
Final Calculation: Performing the multiplication gives us approximately 175.9324 cubic inches.
Round to Nearest Tenth: Finally, we round the result to the nearest tenths place, which gives us 175.9 cubic inches.
