What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of a cylinder with a height of 20 centimeters and a base radius of 5 centimeters, to the nearest tenths place?

1 answer

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 given:
V = π(5^2)20
V = π(25)20
V = 500π

Approximating π to 3.14, we get:
V = 500*3.14
V = 1570 cubic centimeters

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 1570 cubic centimeters.
