Exercise 34 Page 604

Recall the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

Approximately 129.5 m^3

Practice makes perfect

A cylinder has a radius of 2.9 meters and a height of 4.9 meters. Let's start by drawing it.

The volume of a cylinder with the radius r and height h can be calculated by the following formula. V=π r^2 h Here the r is the radius and h is the height. We have enough information to find the volume of the cylinder.
V=π r^2 h
V=π ( 2.9)^2 ( 4.9)
Evaluate right-hand side
V=π( 8.41)( 4.9)
V= π (41.209)
V= 129.461892...
V≈ 129.5
The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 129.5 cubic meters.
