Question

Find the volume of the cylinder, in cubic millimeters. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)

r = 8
h = 13

Answer 1

this is the answer that I got 2,612.48

Answer 2

did you do 832 x 3.14 instead of 3.14159?

Answer 3

The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

Where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the cylinder,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
- \( \pi \) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

Given:
- \( r = 8 \) mm,
- \( h = 13 \) mm.

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
V = \pi (8^2)(13)
\]
\[
V = \pi (64)(13)
\]
\[
V = \pi (832)
\]
\[
V \approx 3.14159 \times 832 \approx 2617.76
\]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the cylinder is approximately:

\[
\boxed{2617.76} \text{ cubic millimeters.}
\]

Answer 4

Let's re-calculate the volume of the cylinder step by step to verify the correct value:

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

Where:
- \( r = 8 \) mm (the radius)
- \( h = 13 \) mm (the height)

1. First, calculate \( r^2 \):
\[
r^2 = 8^2 = 64
\]

2. Next, multiply \( r^2 \) by \( h \):
\[
64 \times 13 = 832
\]

3. Now, multiply by \( \pi \):
\[
V = \pi \times 832 \approx 3.14159 \times 832
\]
\[
V \approx 2617.76 \text{ cubic millimeters}
\]

So the correct calculation confirms that the volume of the cylinder is approximately \( 2617.76 \) cubic millimeters.

If you got \( 2612.48 \), please double-check your calculator or the steps you followed. The correct answer, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is \( 2617.76 \) cubic millimeters.

Answer 5

I used \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \) in the calculation. To clarify and compare against using approximations, let's redo the final multiplication step with both \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) and \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

1. **Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)**:
\[
V \approx 3.14 \times 832
\]
\[
V \approx 2611.68 \text{ cubic millimeters}
\]

2. **Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \)**:
\[
V \approx 3.14159 \times 832
\]
\[
V \approx 2617.76 \text{ cubic millimeters}
\]

So with \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), you get approximately \( 2611.68 \), which rounds to \( 2612.00 \), while with \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \), you get approximately \( 2617.76 \).

Your earlier answer of \( 2612.48 \) might suggest an error in calculation, or possibly using a different approximation of \( \pi \). For the most accurate result, using \( 3.14159 \) is preferable.

**Final Response**: The most accurate volume of the cylinder using \( \pi \) to five decimal places is \( \approx 2617.76 \) cubic millimeters.
