Exercise 15 Page 872

Use the formulas for the surface area and volume of a cylinder.

254.5 ft^3

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder with the radius r and height h can be calculated by the following formula. V=Ï€ r^2 h Since we are given both the radius r and height h of the cylinder, we can substitute them into the formula and calculate V.

V=Ï€ r^2 h
V=Ï€ ( 3)^2 ( 9)
â–¼
Simplify right-hand side
V=Ï€( 9)( 9)
V=81Ï€
V=254.469004...
V≈ 254.5

The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 254.5 ft^3.
