Q. A cylinder has a base radius of 5ft and a height of 3ft. What is its volume in cubic ft, to the nearest tenths place?Answer: V=ft3
Given values: 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. We are given the radius r=5 ft and the height h=3 ft.
Formula substitution: We plug the given values into the formula: V=π×(5ft)2×3ft.
Calculate radius squared: Calculating the radius squared: (5ft)2=25ft2.
Multiply base area by height: Now we multiply the area of the base by the height: V=π×25ft2×3ft.
Calculate volume: We calculate the volume: V=3.14159×25ft2×3ft≈235.62ft3.
Round to nearest tenth: Since we need to round to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 235.6ft3.
