To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 3 \) cm
- Height \( h = 5 \) cm
- Use \( \pi = 3.14 \)
Now plug in the values:
\[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 5 \]
Calculating \( (3)^2 \):
\[ (3)^2 = 9 \]
Now substitute this back into the equation:
\[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times 9 \times 5 \]
Calculating \( 9 \times 5 \):
\[ 9 \times 5 = 45 \]
Now substitute this back in:
\[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times 45 \]
Now, calculate \( 3.14 \times 45 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 45 = 141.3 \]
So, the volume of the cylinder is approximately \( 141.3 \) cubic centimeters.
Finally, rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume is:
\[ \boxed{141.3} \text{ cubic centimeters.} \]
