Q. What is the volume of a cylinder with a height of 3.3in and a base with a radius of 4.3in, to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch?Answer: in3
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.
Substitute Values: Substitute the given values into the formula.Using the given radius r=4.3 inches and height h=3.3 inches, the volume V is calculated as V=π×(4.3 in)2×3.3 in.
Calculate Radius Squared: Calculate the radius squared.Radius squared is (4.3in)2=18.49in2.
Multiply Radius by Height: Multiply the radius squared by the height.Now multiply 18.49in2 by the height of 3.3in to get the volume before applying π.Volume before π=18.49in2×3.3in=61.017in3.
Multiply by π: Multiply by π to get the volume.Using π≈3.14159, the volume V≈3.14159×61.017 in3.Volume V≈191.748 in3.
Round Volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth.Rounding 191.748in3 to the nearest tenth gives us 191.7in3.
