What is the volume of a cylinder whose radius is 2 1/6x and the height is 1 1/2 inches? Find the volume in terms of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume of cylinder=\[\pi r ^{2}h\] Put the values in terms of r and h, and get the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that part but i don't understand how to get from the radius being squared to the answer which has to be cubed since its volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sec, I will do it. \[\pi (21x/6)^{2} (11/2)\]\ It is not necessary for the answer to be x^3 if the parameters aren't that way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought that every answer that had to do with finding the volume always had to be cubed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really, not always I mean. You can have x squared and still have the right answer. Just substitute the values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be V=22.05x^2 inches^3 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Assuming you did the calculations correctly.

It has taken me three hours for someone to answer that question for me. THANK YOU!

My pleasure.
