What is the volume of the cylinder? Use three point one four for pi. A cylinder with a diameter of ten miles and a height of 6 miles one hundred eighty-eight point four cubic miles two hundred eighty-two point six cubic miles three hundred forty-five point four cubic miles four hundred seventy-one cubic miles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats a cylinder, now look at given info :- A cylinder with a diameter of ten miles and a height of 6 miles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1378483722986:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the sides are 6 miles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1378483753666:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! sides are the height

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so we have, h = 6 radius = diameter/2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. That is where I get confused.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

remember this, radius is always half of diameter. since diameter is given as 10 miles, radius, r = 10/2 = 5 miles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plug them in the volume of cylinder formula, do u remember the formula ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes pi = 3.14, il give you the volume formula :- Volume of cylinder = \(\large \pi r^2 h\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we have, r = 5 h = 6 \(\pi\) = 3.14 plug and chug

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

madam , plug those values in the formula, and find volume ... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying it right now :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 282.6 cubic miles. is that correct?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is 282.6 cubic miles the answer?///

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

incorrect, try again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you just randomly picked one of ur options ha... lazy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No because i got 262 when i used the calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i rounded off 2 the closest number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug and chug xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ikr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i divide or multiply?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put the numbers into the equation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Volume of cylinder = \(\large \pi r^2 h\) = \(\large 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 6\) = \(\large 3.14 \times 25 \times 6\) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

471?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks :0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)
