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
- Approximation for \( \pi = 3.14 \)
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 15 \]
Calculating \( (5)^2 \):
\[ (5)^2 = 25 \]
Now plug that back in:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 15 \]
Calculating \( 25 \times 15 \):
\[ 25 \times 15 = 375 \]
Now multiply by \( 3.14 \):
\[ V = 3.14 \times 375 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 375 \):
\[ V = 1177.5 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
So, the volume of the cylinder is 1177.5 cubic centimeters.
