A cylinder has diameter 34 m and height 27 m. A label at bottom states drawing not to scale.

Find the volume of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for
π
.

1 answer

The radius of the cylinder is half of the diameter, so:

radius = 34/2 = 17 m

Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr^2h

V = 3.14 x 17^2 x 27

V = 3.14 x 289 x 27

V = 23,247.78 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 23,247.78 cubic meters.
