Exercise 12 Page 431

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

252π cubic inches or 791.7 cubic inches

Practice makes perfect

We are given the following cylinder and we want to find the value of its volume.

The volume of a cylinder with the radius r and height h can be calculated by the following formula. V=π r^2 h Since we are given the radius and height of the cylinder, we can substitute them into the formula and calculate its volume.
V=π r^2 h
V=π ( 6)^2 ( 7)
Solve for V
V=π (36)(7)
V=252π
V=252( 3.141592...)
V=791.681348...
V ≈ 791.7
Therefore, the volume of the given cylinder is 252π cubic inches or about 791.7 cubic inches.
