Question

What is the exact volume of a cylinder whose diameter is 10 meters and whose height is 12 meters?

Answer 1

We know that

• The diameter is 10 meters.

,

• The height is 12 meters.

,

• pi is equal to 3.14, approximately.

To find the volume of a cylinder with the given dimensions, we use the following formula

$V=\pi r^2h$

Replacing all given information, we have

$V=3.14(5)^2(12)$

Since the radius is half the diameter. So, the volume is

$V=3.14\cdot25\cdot12=942m^3$

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 942 cubic meters.
