Q. What is the volume, in cubic cm, of a cylinder with a height of 7cm and a base radius of 7cm, to the nearest tenths place?Answer: V=□cm3
Identify formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a cylinder.The volume V of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula V=πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.
Plug values: Plug the given values into the formula.Given that the radius r is 7 cm and the height h is 7 cm, we substitute these values into the formula to get V=π(7 cm)2(7 cm).
Calculate base area: Calculate the base area.First, we calculate the area of the base, which is πr2. So, the base area is π(7cm)2=49πcm2.
Calculate volume: Calculate the volume.Now, we multiply the base area by the height to find the volume. V=49πcm2×7cm=343πcm3.
Use value of π: Use the value of π to find the numerical value.We use the approximate value of π, which is 3.1416, to calculate the volume. V≈343×3.1416cm3.
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the volume. V≈343×3.1416cm3≈1077.9528cm3.
Round result: Round the result to the nearest tenth.The volume of the cylinder, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 1078.0cm3.
