Find the volume, in cubic inches, of a cylinder with a diameter of 16 inches and a height of 7 inches. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (hint: the answer is NOT 1407.52 cubic inches)

Answer 1

First, we need to find the radius of the cylinder. The radius is half the diameter, so the radius is 16/2 = 8 inches.

Next, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h. Substituting in the values we have:

V = 3.14 * 8^2 * 7
V = 3.14 * 64 * 7
V = 1406.72 cubic inches

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the cylinder is 1406.72 cubic inches.
