True or false? A cylindrical water bottle has a height of 16 inches and a radius of 4 inches. This cylinder has a volume of 604.56 cubic inches.

1 answer

To determine whether the given statement is true or false, we need to calculate the volume of the cylindrical water bottle using the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

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

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height.

Given:

  • Height (\( h \)) = 16 inches,
  • Radius (\( r \)) = 4 inches.

Plugging in the values:

\[ V = \pi (4)^2 (16) \] \[ = \pi (16)(16) \] \[ = \pi (256) \] \[ \approx 3.14159 \times 256 \approx 804.25 \text{ cubic inches} \]

The calculated volume is approximately 804.25 cubic inches, not 604.56 cubic inches.

Thus, the statement is false.
