Answer 1

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:

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