Question
A water bottle had a height of 16 inches and a radius of 4 inches, why is the volume of the water bottle in cubic inches 803.84 and NOT 804.24
Answers
GPT 3.5
The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
In this case, the radius is given as 4 inches and the height is given as 16 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = π * (4^2) * 16
= π * 16 * 16
= 256π
Using the approximation of π as 3.14, we can calculate the volume as:
256 * 3.14
= 803.84 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the water bottle is correctly calculated as 803.84 cubic inches. It is not 804.24 due to rounding off the value of π.
