Question

.

A 3 D cylinder shows a base radius of 3 centimeters and perpendicular height of 5 centimeters. A right angle is formed at the center of the base.

Find the volume of the cylinder, in cubic centimeters. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To find the volume \( V \) of a cylinder, you can use the formula:

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

where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

Given:
- Radius \( r = 3 \) cm
- Height \( h = 5 \) cm
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Plugging in the values:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 5
\]
\[
= 3.14 \times 9 \times 5
\]
\[
= 3.14 \times 45
\]
\[
= 141.3
\]

Thus, the volume of the cylinder, rounded to the nearest tenth, is:

\[
\boxed{141.3} \text{ cubic centimeters}
\]
