Simon is filling a cylindrical water dispenser that has a radius of 7 inches and a height of 20 inches. Which of these is the best estimate of the volume of this water dispenser?

1 answer

The best estimate of the volume of the water dispenser can be found using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values, we get:

V = π * (7^2) * 20
V = π * 49 * 20
V = 980π

Therefore, the best estimate of the volume of the water dispenser is approximately 980π cubic inches.
