Q. What is the volume, in cubic ft, of a cylinder with a height of 11ft and a base radius of 2ft, to the nearest tenths place?Answer: V=□ft3
Formula for Volume: 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=2 ft and the height h=11 ft.
Calculate Base Area: First, we calculate the area of the base (circle) using the formula A=πr2. Substituting the given radius r=2 ft, we get A=π(2)2=4π square feet.
Calculate Volume: Next, we calculate the volume by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the cylinder. So, V=4π×11ft=44π cubic feet.
Round to Nearest Tenths: Finally, we need to round the result to the nearest tenths place. The value of π is approximately 3.1416. Therefore, V≈44×3.1416=138.2304 cubic feet. Rounded to the nearest tenths place, the volume is approximately 138.2 cubic feet.
