Question

what is the volume of the cylinder? I have the answer as 2540.7. But it is not correct.I have to round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the volume of a cylinder. To do that we will use the following formula:

$V=\frac{\pi D^2}{4}h$

Where "D" is the diameter and "h" is the height. replacing the values:

$V=\frac{\pi(20ft)^2}{4}(17ft)$

Solving the operations:

$V=1700\pi ft^3$

In decimal notation:

$V=5340.7ft^3$
