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 and \( h \) is the height.

In your case:

  • The height \( h = 5 \) cm
  • The radius \( r = 3 \) cm

Plugging in the values, we calculate:

\[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 5 \]

Calculating \( (3)^2 \):

\[ (3)^2 = 9 \]

Now substituting this back in:

\[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times 9 \times 5 \]

Calculating \( 9 \times 5 \):

\[ 9 \times 5 = 45 \]

Now substituting again:

\[ \text{Volume} = 3.14 \times 45 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Volume} = 141.3 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cylinder is:

\[ \boxed{141.3} , \text{cubic centimeters} \]
