The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values, we get:
V = π(9^2)(12)
V = π(81)(12)
V = π(972)
V ≈ 3053.6 cubic ft

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 3053.6 cubic ft.

Apologies for the error. Let's recalculate the volume of the cylinder with the correct formula.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values, we get:
V = π(9^2)(12)
V = π(81)(12)
V = π(972)
V = 972π

To find the approximate value, we can use the approximation π ≈ 3.14:
V ≈ 972 * 3.14
V ≈ 3047.28 cubic ft

Therefore, the correct volume of the cylinder to the nearest tenths place is approximately 3047.3 cubic ft.
