Question

What is the volume of a right circular cylinder with a base diameter of 18 yd and a height of 3 yd?



Enter your answer in the box. Express your answer using π.

I've seen people answer with 763.4yd^3 or 254pi yd^3 . Please answer if you know 100%. Also please show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=763.407$ yd^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for volume of right circular cylinder.

$V=\pi r^{2}*6$

$r=\frac{d}{2}$

We are given the diameter (d) and the height (h).

First solve for r.

$r=\frac{18}{2}$

$r=9$

Now we have everything we need to find the volume. Plug in r into the volume formula.

$V=\pi *9^{2} *3$

$V=763.407$ yd^3
