A cylinder with a Diameter of 16 inches and a height of 7 Inches. Use 3.14 for PI. Find the voume of the cylinder.

1 answer

The radius of the cylinder can be calculated by halving the diameter, so the radius is 16 inches / 2 = 8 inches.

The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, π is a mathematical constant (approximated to 3.14), r is the radius, and h is the height.

Plugging in the values, V = 3.14 * 8 inches^2 * 7 inches.

V = 3.14 * (8 inches)^2 * 7 inches.

V = 3.14 * 64 square inches * 7 inches.

V = 3.14 * 448 cubic inches.

V = 1,407.52 cubic inches.

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 1,407.52 cubic inches.
