Q. What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic feet, with a height of 20 feet and a base diameter of 4 feet? Round to the nearest tenths placeAnswer: V=□ feet 3
Find Radius of Base: 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. First, we need to find the radius of the base. The radius is half of the diameter.Radius (r) = Diameter / 2Radius (r) = 4 feet / 2Radius (r) = 2 feet
Calculate Volume Formula: Now that we have the radius, we can plug it into the formula along with the height to calculate the volume.V=πr2hV=π(2feet)2(20feet)
Square Radius and Multiply: Next, we square the radius and multiply by the height.V=π(4 feet2)(20 feet)V=π(80 feet3)
Approximate Volume with π: We can use the approximation π≈3.1416 to calculate the volume.V≈3.1416×80 feet3V≈251.328 feet3
Round Volume to Nearest: Finally, we round the volume to the nearest tenths place. V≈251.3 feet3
