Exercise 6 Page 834

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

1357.2 m^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 By Cavalieri's Principle, the formula still holds true for oblique cylinders. 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€ ( 6)^2 ( 12)
â–¼
Simplify right-hand side
V=Ï€( 36)(12)
V=432Ï€
V=1357.168026...
V≈ 1357.2

The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 1357.2 m^3.
