Q. What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic centimeters, with a height of 18 centimeters and a base diameter of 8 centimeters? Round to the nearest tenths place
Identify Formula: Identify the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder.The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
Convert Diameter to Radius: Convert the diameter of the base into the radius.Since the diameter is 8 centimeters, the radius (r) is half of the diameter. Therefore, r=28cm=4cm.
Plug Values into Formula: Plug the radius and height into the formula to calculate the volume.Using the radius of 4cm and the height of 18cm, the volume V is calculated as follows:V=π×(4cm)2×18cm
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation to find the volume.V=π×16cm2×18cmV=π×288cm3V≈3.14159×288cm3V≈904.7784cm3
Round Result: Round the result to the nearest tenths place.The volume of the cylinder, rounded to the nearest tenths place, is approximately 904.8cm3.
