Question

I need to find the volume of a cylinder, I am given the diameter (35') and the height (588')

Answer 1

Volume formula for cylinder is pi × radius2 × height

Answer 2

pi x radius ^ 2 x height

its radius squared

Answer 3

I tried that, I must be doing something wrong:

v=pi x 12.5^2 x 35
v=pi x 156.25 x 35
v=490.87 x 35
v=17,180.59 meters

I'm just not sure it's right

Answer 4

oops feet not meters

Answer 5

check your radius, it should be 35/2 to find the radius always.

Answer 6

Answer should be 1924.23 ft.

Answer 7

I wrote the height down wrong in my explination, height should be 588

Does this seem right?

v=pi x r^2 x h
v=pi x 17.5^2 x 588
v=pi x 306.25 x 588
v=962.11 x 588
v=565,722.30

??? I'm so lost on this one...

Answer 8

yup that's right; that's what I got too.
