Sandra has a cylinder poster roll that measures 24in in long and 4in in diameter. What is the volume of the cylinder?

Cylinder: V = πr2h

1 answer

First, we need to find the radius (r) of the cylinder. The diameter is given as 4 inches, so the radius is half of the diameter:

r = 4in / 2 = 2in

Next, we need to find the height (h) of the cylinder, which is given as 24 inches.

Now we can plug in the values into the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = π(2in)^2(24in)
V = π(4in^2)(24in)
V = 96π in^3

The volume of the cylinder is 96π cubic inches.
