Q. What is the volume of a cylinder with a height of 11.7cm and a base with a diameter of 12cm, to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter?Answer: cm3
Identify Formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a cylinder.The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.
Calculate Radius: Calculate the radius of the base of the cylinder.The diameter of the base is 12cm, so the radius is half of the diameter. Radius =2Diameter=212cm=6cm.
Substitute Values: Substitute the radius and height into the volume formula.Using the radius of 6cm and the height of 11.7cm, the volume formula becomes V=π×(6cm)2×11.7cm.
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume of the cylinder.V=π×36cm2×11.7cm=π×421.2cm3.
Use Pi Value: Use the value of π to find the numerical value of the volume.Assuming π is approximately 3.14159, the volume is V≈3.14159×421.2cm3≈1323.7168cm3.
Round Volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter. The volume rounded to the nearest tenth is approximately 1323.7cm3.
