what is the volume of a cylinder that has the height of 10, and the base 3.

1 answer

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:

V=πr2h

where:

  • V is the volume,
  • r is the radius of the base,
  • h is the height of the cylinder.

From your information, the height h is 10, and it seems you mentioned the base as 3, which I will assume to be the diameter. To find the radius r, you need to divide the diameter by 2:

r=d2=32=1.5

Now, plug the values into the volume formula:

V=π(1.5)2(10)

Calculating (1.5)2:

(1.5)2=2.25

Now plug this back into the volume formula:

V=π(2.25)(10)=22.5π

Using π3.14 for the calculation:

V22.5×3.1470.65

So, the volume of the cylinder is approximately:

22.5π cubic units, or 70.65 cubic units (using π3.14).
