Question

Complete the formula we would use to find the volume of a cylinder with a base radius of 8 in. and a height of 40 in.

π____ (40)

Answer 1

To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:

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

Where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height.

In this case, the radius \( r = 8 \) inches and the height \( h = 40 \) inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

\[ V = \pi (8^2)(40) \]

Therefore, completing your formula would look like this:

\[ \pi (8^2)(40) \]

So in your form, it would be:

\[ \pi \times (8^2) \times (40) \]
