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 of the cylinder.
In this case, you provided:
- Radius (\(r\)) = 5 cm
- The height of the cylinder (\(h\)) = 15 cm
Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
-
Calculate \(r^2\): \[ r^2 = 5^2 = 25 \text{ cm}^2 \]
-
Now plug the values into the volume formula: \[ V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 15 \]
-
First calculate \(25 \times 15\): \[ 25 \times 15 = 375 \]
-
Now calculate \(V\): \[ V = 3.14 \times 375 \] \[ V = 1177.5 \text{ cm}^3 \]
Thus, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 1177.5 cm³.
