The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the diameter of the cylinder is 4 inches, the radius is half of that:
r = 4/2 = 2 inches
The height of the cylinder is 24 inches.
Now we can plug in these values into the formula:
V = π(2)^2 * 24
V = π(4) * 24
V = 4π * 24
V = 96π
Using an approximate value for π of 3.14, we can calculate the volume:
V ≈ 96 * 3.14
V ≈ 301.44 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the mailing cylinder is approximately 301.44 cubic inches.
