The volume V of a cylinder can be found using the formula:
V = πr²h
where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.
Given a base radius of 2.5 inches and a height of 9 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:
V = π(2.5)²(9)
To do the calculation:
V = π(6.25)(9)
V = π(56.25)
V = 176.71 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 176.71 cubic inches, assuming you are using the value of π as approximately 3.14159. If you use a calculator, you can get a more precise value.
