To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:

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

where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius of the base, and \( h \) is the height.

In this case, the base radius \( r \) is 2.5 inches and the height \( h \) is 9 inches. Plugging in these values into the formula:

\[
V = \pi (2.5)^2 (9)
\]

Calculating \( (2.5)^2 \):

\[
(2.5)^2 = 6.25
\]

Now substitute back into the volume formula:

\[
V = \pi (6.25) (9)
\]

Now, multiply \( 6.25 \) by \( 9 \):

\[
6.25 \times 9 = 56.25
\]

So the volume is:

\[
V = 56.25\pi \, \text{in}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the cylinder is:

\[
56.25\pi \, \text{in}^3
\]

It can be approximated numerically as \( 176.71 \, \text{in}^3 \) if you consider \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).
