Question

Use the image to answer the question.
A 3 D oblique cylinder shows a length of 10 meters and a perpendicular height of 7 meters. The base radius is 4 meters.
Find the volume of the cylinder, in cubic meters. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

1 answer

To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:

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

where:

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

In this case, you have:

  • Radius \( r = 4 \) meters,
  • Height \( h = 7 \) meters,
  • \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[ V = 3.14 \times (4)^2 \times 7 \]

First, calculate \( (4)^2 \):

\[ (4)^2 = 16 \]

Now substitute back into the volume formula:

\[ V = 3.14 \times 16 \times 7 \]

Calculate \( 16 \times 7 \):

\[ 16 \times 7 = 112 \]

Now calculate the volume:

\[ V = 3.14 \times 112 \]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[ V = 351.68 \]

Finally, rounding to the nearest hundredth gives:

\[ V \approx 351.68 \text{ cubic meters} \]

So, the volume of the cylinder is approximately \( \text{351.68 cubic meters} \).
