Question

Find the volume of the cylinder below. Use 3.14 for pi.

The radius is 8 ft, height is 20

Answer 1

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, and \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- Radius \( r = 8 \) ft
- Height \( h = 20 \) ft

Now, substitute the values into the formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
V = 3.14 \times (8)^2 \times 20
\]

Calculating \( (8)^2 \):

\[
(8)^2 = 64
\]

Now substitute this back into the equation:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 64 \times 20
\]

Now, calculate \( 64 \times 20 \):

\[
64 \times 20 = 1280
\]

Now substitute this back into the volume equation:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 1280
\]

Finally, perform the multiplication:

\[
V = 4019.2
\]

Thus, the volume of the cylinder is:

\[
\boxed{4019.2} \text{ cubic feet}
\]
