Exercise 35 Page 604

Recall the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

Approximately 1025.4 cm^3

Practice makes perfect

A cylinder has a diameter of 16 centimeters and a height of 5.1 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, r is the radius and h is the height. We are given that the diameter d is 16. To find its radius we can divide d by 2.
r = d/2
r = 16/2
r = 8
We have enough information to find the volume of the cylinder.
V=π r^2 h
V=π ( 8)^2 ( 5.1)
Evaluate right-hand side
V=π( 64)( 5.1)
V= π (326.4)
V= 1025.415842...
V≈ 1025.4
The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 1025.4 cubic centimeters.
