Q. What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic m, with a height of 12m and a base diameter of 4m ? Round to the nearest tenths placeAnswer: V=□m3
Calculate Radius: 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.Calculation: Radius (r) = Diameter / 2 = 4m / 2 = 2m
Substitute Values: Now that we have the radius, we can substitute the values into the volume formula.Calculation: V=π×(2m)2×12m
Calculate Volume: Next, we calculate the volume using the values we have.Calculation: V=π×4m2×12m=π×48m3
Use Value of π: We need to use the value of π to get the numerical value of the volume. We will use the approximation π≈3.1416 for this calculation.Calculation: V≈3.1416×48m3≈150.7968m3
Round the Result: Finally, we round the result to the nearest tenths place as the problem asks.Calculation: V≈150.8m3
