What is the volume of a cylinder with a base radius of 12 mm and a height of 50 mm?(1 poin

1 answer

The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

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

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius of the base,
  • \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14159.

Given:

  • \( r = 12 \) mm
  • \( h = 50 \) mm

Plugging in the values:

\[ V = \pi (12 , \text{mm})^2 (50 , \text{mm}) \]

Calculating \( (12 , \text{mm})^2 \):

\[ (12 , \text{mm})^2 = 144 , \text{mm}^2 \]

Now substituting back into the volume formula:

\[ V = \pi (144 , \text{mm}^2)(50 , \text{mm}) = \pi (7200 , \text{mm}^3) \]

Now, using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

\[ V \approx 3.14159 \times 7200 , \text{mm}^3 \approx 22619.47 , \text{mm}^3 \]

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately \( 22619.47 , \text{mm}^3 \).
