To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:
[ V = \pi r^2 h ]
where:
- ( V ) is the volume,
- ( r ) is the radius of the base,
- ( h ) is the height of the cylinder.
Based on your question, the relevant measurements for the cylinder are:
- Radius (( r )) = 3
- Height (( h )) = 6
Now, using ( \pi = 3.14 ):
[ V = 3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 6 ]
First, calculate ( (3)^2 ):
[ (3)^2 = 9 ]
Then, substitute this back into the volume formula:
[ V = 3.14 \times 9 \times 6 ]
Now calculate ( 9 \times 6 ):
[ 9 \times 6 = 54 ]
Now substitute this value:
[ V = 3.14 \times 54 ]
Finally, calculate ( 3.14 \times 54 ):
[ V = 169.56 ]
So, the volume of the cylinder is ( 169.56 ) cubic units.
