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, and
- \( \pi \) is approximately equal to 3.14.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 5 \) centimeters,
- Height \( h = 15 \) centimeters,
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 15 \]
First, calculate \( (5)^2 \):
\[ (5)^2 = 25 \]
Now, substitute this back into the volume formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 15 \]
Next, calculate \( 25 \times 15 \):
\[ 25 \times 15 = 375 \]
Now substitute this into the volume equation:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 375 \]
Finally, calculate \( 3.14 \times 375 \):
\[ V = 1177.5 \]
Thus, the volume of the cylinder is:
1177.5 cubic centimeters.
The correct response is:
1177.5 cubic centimeters.
