Q. What is the volume of a cylinder with a height of 8.2cm and a base with a diameter of 12.4cm, to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter?Answer: cm3
Identify formula for volume: Identify the formula for 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.
Calculate base radius: Calculate the radius of the base of the cylinder.The diameter of the base is given as 12.4cm. The radius is half of the diameter, so r=diameter/2=12.4cm/2=6.2cm.
Substitute radius and height: Substitute the radius and height into the volume formula.Using the radius from Step 2 and the given height of 8.2cm, we substitute these values into the volume formula: V=π(6.2cm)2(8.2cm).
Calculate volume: Calculate the volume of the cylinder. V = \pi(\(6.2 \, \text{cm})^2(8.2 \, \text{cm}) = \pi(38.44 \, \text{cm}^2)(8.2 \, \text{cm}) \approx 3.1416 \times 38.44 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 8.2 \, \text{cm} \approx 991.10112 \, \text{cm}^3\.
Round to nearest tenth: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.The volume of the cylinder to the nearest tenth is approximately 991.1cm3.
