Exercise 7 Page 834

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

1025.4 cm^3

Practice makes perfect
The volume of a cylinder with the radius r and height h can be calculated by the following formula. V=π r^2 h We do not know the radius of the cylinder, but we are given its diameter. We know that the diameter is twice the length of the radius. d = 2r The radius is therefore 8cm. Since we are given the height of the cylinder, we can substitute the values into the formula and calculate V.
V=π r^2 h
V=π ( 8)^2 ( 5.1)
Simplify right-hand side
V=π( 64)(5.1)
V=326.4π
V=1025.415842...
V≈ 1025.4
The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 1025.4 cm^3.
