Answer 1

To find the volume of the oblique cylinder, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

• \( V \) is the volume,
• \( r \) is the radius,
• \( h \) is the height,
• \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given the height \( h = 15 \) cm and the radius \( r = 5 \) cm, we can substitute these values into the formula.

First, calculate the area of the base:

\[ r^2 = 5^2 = 25 \]

Now plug this into the volume formula:

\[ V = 3.14 \cdot 25 \cdot 15 \]

Calculating this step by step:

1. \( 25 \cdot 15 = 375 \)
2. \( V = 3.14 \cdot 375 \)

Now calculate \( 3.14 \cdot 375 \):

\[ V = 1177.5 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is:

1177.5 cubic centimeters.

The correct response is: 1177.5 cubic centimeters.
