Answer 1

To find the volume \( V \) of a cylinder, the formula is:

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

where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

Given:
- Height \( h = 15 \) cm
- Radius \( r = 5 \) cm
- Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 15
\]

Calculating \( (5)^2 \):

\[
(5)^2 = 25
\]

Now substitute back into the volume formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 15
\]

Calculating \( 25 \times 15 \):

\[
25 \times 15 = 375
\]

Now substitute this value:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 375
\]

Finally, perform the multiplication:

\[
V = 1177.5
\]

Thus, the volume of the oblique cylinder is:

\[
1177.5 \text{ cubic centimeters}
\]

The correct response is:

**1177.5 cubic centimeters**
