Answer 1

The formula to find the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by the equation:

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

where \( r \) is the radius of the base and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

For a cylinder with a base radius of 8 inches and a height of 40 inches, you can plug these values into the formula:

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

Now you can calculate \( V \):

1. Calculate \( 8^2 = 64 \).
2. Multiply that by the height: \( 64 \times 40 = 2560 \).
3. Finally, include \( \pi \):

\[ V = 2560\pi \text{ cubic inches} \]

So, the complete formula for this specific cylinder would be:

\[ V = 2560\pi \text{ in}^3 \]
