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, and \(h\) is the height.
Given:
- Radius (\(r\)) = 5 cm
- Height (\(h\)) = 15 cm
- Using \(\pi \approx 3.14\)
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (5^2) \times 15 \]
First, calculate \(5^2\):
\[ 5^2 = 25 \]
Now substitute that back into the volume equation:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 15 \]
Now calculate \(25 \times 15\):
\[ 25 \times 15 = 375 \]
Finally, multiply that by \(3.14\):
\[ V = 3.14 \times 375 = 1177.5 \]
Thus, the volume of the cylinder is \(1177.5\) cubic centimeters.
The correct answer is 1177.5 cubic centimeters.
