Exercise 34 Page 638

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

314.2 in.^3

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a cylinder with a radius of 2 inches and a height of 25 inches. To calculate the volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h, we can use the following formula. V=Ï€ r^2 h Since we are given both the radius and height of the cylinder, we can substitute them into the formula and calculate V.

V=Ï€ r^2 h
V=Ï€ ( 2)^2 ( 25)
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
V=Ï€( 4)( 25)
V=100Ï€
V=314.159265...
V≈ 314.2

The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 314.24 cubic inches.
