To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
First, we need to determine the radius of the cylinder from the diameter. The diameter is 8 inches, so the radius \( r \) is:
\[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \text{ inches} \]
Next, plug the values into the volume formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (4)^2 \times 12 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 16 \times 12 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 192 \]
Now, calculate \( 3.14 \times 192 \):
\[ V = 602.88 \text{ cubic inches} \]
Thus, the volume of the cylinder is 602.88 cubic inches.
So the correct response is:
602.88 cubic inches.
