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. (1 point) cubic inches

1 answer

To find the volume of a cylinder (which is the shape of the water bottle), you can use the formula:

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

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.

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

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

First, calculate \( r^2 \):

\[ r^2 = 4^2 = 16 \]

Now substitute back into the volume formula:

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

Now perform the multiplication:

\[ V = 3.14 \times 256 \]

Now calculate \( 3.14 \times 256 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 256 = 802.56 \]

Therefore, the volume of the water bottle is approximately:

\[ \boxed{802.56} \text{ cubic inches} \]
