Answer 1

To find the volume of a cylinder, you use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h \]

Where:
- \( r \) is the radius
- \( h \) is the height
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14

Given that the height (h) is 15 cm and the radius (r) is 5 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 15
\]
\[
= 3.14 \times 25 \times 15
\]
\[
= 3.14 \times 375
\]
\[
= 1177.5 \text{ cubic centimeters}
\]

So the correct answer is:

**1177.5 cubic centimeters**
