The volume of a cylinder is given by the product of the area of its base times its height. If the base of the cylinder has a radius r and the height of the cylinder is h, then its volume V is given by the formula:
[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]
Substitute r=5cm, h=8cm and use π=3.14 to find the volume of the cylinder:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=3.14(5cm)^2(8cm) \\ =3.14\cdot25cm^2\cdot8cm \\ =3.14\cdot200cm^3 \\ =628cm^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is:
[tex]628cm^3[/tex]
