Use the image to answer the question.

A 3 D cylinder shows a base radius of 3 centimeters and perpendicular height of 5 centimeters. A right angle is formed at the center of the base.

Find the volume of the cylinder, in cubic centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

1 answer

To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:

Volume = π × (radius)^2 × height

In this case, the radius is given as 3 centimeters and the height is given as 5 centimeters. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Volume = π × (3 cm)^2 × 5 cm
= π × 9 cm^2 × 5 cm
= 45π cm^3

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 141.4 cubic centimeters.
