Exercise 5 Page 834

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

206.4 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 and height of the cylinder, we can substitute them into the formula and calculate V.

V=Ï€ r^2 h
V=Ï€ ( 3.7)^2 ( 4.8)
â–¼
Simplify right-hand side
V=Ï€( 13.69)( 4.8)
V=65.712Ï€
V=206.440336...
V≈ 206.4

The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 206.4 ft^3.
