A water bottle has a height of 16 inches and a radius of 4 inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of the water bottle? Use 3.14 for pi. Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)

1 answer

To find the volume of the water bottle, which is in the shape of a cylinder, we use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

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

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:

  • Height \( h = 16 \) inches,
  • Radius \( r = 4 \) inches.

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ V = 3.14 \times (4)^2 \times 16 \]

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

\[ (4)^2 = 16 \]

Now substitute back into the volume formula:

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

Next, multiply \( 16 \times 16 \):

\[ 16 \times 16 = 256 \]

Now multiply by \( 3.14 \):

\[ V = 3.14 \times 256 \]

Calculating this:

\[ 3.14 \times 256 = 804.16 \]

Therefore, the volume of the water bottle is:

\[ \boxed{804.16} \text{ cubic inches} \]
