Question
A trash can in the shape of a cylinder has a radius of 29 cm and a height of 36 cm. Which of the following is closest to the volume of the trash can?
Answers
GPT 3.5
A. 1,000 cubic centimeters
B. 5,000 cubic centimeters
C. 10,000 cubic centimeters
D. 15,000 cubic centimeters
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values given:
V = π(29)^2(36)
V = π(841)(36)
V = 30276π
Approximating π as 3.14:
V ≈ 30276 * 3.14
V ≈ 95,079.64 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the closest option to the volume of the trash can is D. 15,000 cubic centimeters.
