To find the volume \( V \) of a cylinder, we can use the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the cylinder,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 5 \) cm
- Height \( h = 15 \) cm
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 15 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 15 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 375 \] \[ V = 1177.5 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
So, the volume of the cylinder is 1177.5 cubic centimeters.
The correct response is: 1177.5 cubic centimeters.
