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. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

1 answer

To find the volume of a cylinder, you use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given the radius is 3 centimeters and the height is 5 centimeters, we can plug these values into the formula:

V = 3.14 x (3)^2 x 5
V = 3.14 x 9 x 5
V = 3.14 x 45
V = 141.3

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 141.3 cubic centimeters (rounded to the nearest tenth).
