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
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14

Given:

  • Height \( h = 15 \) centimeters
  • Radius \( r = 5 \) centimeters

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

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

So, the volume of the cylinder is 1177.5 cubic centimeters.

The correct response is:

1177.5 cubic centimeters.
