Q. What is the volume, in cubic in, of a cylinder with a height of 17 in and a base radius of 8in, to the nearest tenths place?V=
Identify Formula: 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.
Plug in Values: Plug in the given values into the formula.Given that the radius r=8 inches and the height h=17 inches, we substitute these values into the formula to get V=π(8in)2(17in).
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the given values.V=π(8in)2(17in)=π(64in2)(17in)=π(1088in3).
Use π Value: Use the value of π to calculate the volume to the nearest tenths place.Since π is approximately 3.1416, we calculate V≈3.1416×1088in3≈3419.7248in3.
Round Result: Round the result to the nearest tenths place.Rounding 3419.7248 to the nearest tenths gives us 3419.7 in3.
