Find the volume, in cubic inches, of a cylinder with a diameter of 3 cm and a height of 5 inches. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (hint: the answer is NOT 1.90 cubic inches)

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the diameter from centimeters to inches:
1 cm = 0.393701 inches
3 cm = 3 cm * 0.393701 inches/cm = 1.181 inches

Now, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder:
V = πr^2h
V = 3.14 * (1.181/2)^2 * 5
V = 3.14 * (0.5905)^2 * 5
V = 3.14 * 0.3482 * 5
V = 3.14 * 1.741
V = 5.47054 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 5.47 cubic inches.
