A cylinder has a base radius of 10m and a height of 18m. What is its volume in cubic m, to the nearest tenths place?

1 answer

To find the volume of a cylinder, you use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the base radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the given values:
V = π(10)^2(18)
V = π(100)(18)
V = 1800π

To find the volume to the nearest tenths place, we can approximate π to be 3.14:
V ≈ 1800 × 3.14
V ≈ 5652 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 5652 cubic meters.
