Exercise 24 Page 835

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

About 48.86 cubic meters

Practice makes perfect

Let's analyze the given net.

We see that it is a net of a cylinder with a height of h=4.8 meters and a radius of 1.8 meters. Let's sketch it.
We are asked to find its volume. Let's use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
V_\text{cylinder}=\pi r^2 h
Substitute values and evaluate
V_\text{cylinder}=\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{1.8}})^2({\color{#009600}{4.8}})
V_\text{cylinder}= 15.552\pi

π ≈ 3.142

V_\text{cylinder}\approx 15.552({\color{#FF0000}{3.142}})
V_\text{cylinder}\approx 48.864384
V_\text{cylinder}\approx 48.86
Finally, we find that the volume of the cylinder is about 48.86 cubic meters.
