Answer 1

To find the volume of the cylinder using the approximation \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we start with the given volume in terms of \(\pi\):

\[ \text{Volume} = 144\pi \, \text{cm}^3 \]

Now, substituting \( \pi \) with \( 3.14 \):

\[
\text{Volume} \approx 144 \times 3.14
\]

Now, calculating that:

\[
144 \times 3.14 = 452.16 \text{ cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the decimal approximation of the volume of the cylinder is:

\[
\approx 452.16 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
