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:
- \( r = 3 , \text{cm} \)
- \( h = 5 , \text{cm} \)
- Use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (3^2) \times 5 \]
First, calculate \( 3^2 \):
\[ 3^2 = 9 \]
Now, substitute that back into the volume formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 9 \times 5 \]
Next, calculate \( 9 \times 5 \):
\[ 9 \times 5 = 45 \]
Now, substitute that value:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 45 \]
Next, calculate \( 3.14 \times 45 \):
\[ V = 141.3 \]
Thus, the volume of the cylinder is approximately \( 141.3 \) cubic centimeters. Since the answer is already rounded to the nearest tenth, the final result is:
\[ \boxed{141.3} , \text{cm}^3 \]
