Answer 2

thats not for n that is for pi

Answer 3

bu nice lol.. n does look close to \[\pi\]

do some work

Answer 11

Because the base is a circle, the formula can be written as:

V = pi * r^2 * h

The height of the cylinder is 12 but the water volume which you are asked to find has a height of (12 - 2.5).

So, you will need to crank out:

V = pi * (4.5)^2 * 9.5 and approximate pi by 3.14.
Note that the base radius is 4.5 because the radius of a circle is one-half of its diameter.
