Question

What is the volume of a cylinder whose base diameter is 10 cm and whose height is 12 cm? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Solution

We are given the following

Diameter = 10cm

Radius = 10/2 = 5cm

Height = 12cm

Therefore, the Volume will be

$\begin{gathered} Volume=\pi r^2h \\ \\ Volume=\pi(5^2)(12) \\ \\ Volume=\pi\times25\times12 \\ \\ Volume=300\pi \\ \\ Volume=942.5cm^3\text{ \lparen to the nearest tenth\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is

$\begin{equation*} 942.5cm^3\text{ } \end{equation*}$
