nincompoop · Answer

what is the formula for volume of a cylinder?

anonymous · Answer

You can get the volume as the area of the circle times the height of the cylinder...

anonymous · Answer

I did but I got a number that is not even an answer

is that the shape of your cylinder?

anonymous · Answer

you must give the answer in terms of pi:
$$V= \pi r^2 h = 25*10*\pi=250\pi$$
i guess 250 is the correct one then

nincompoop · Answer

what is that you did?

anonymous · Answer

That was my answer @nincompoop yes, @Greg_D thank you! That makes much more sense! I was going crazy trying to see what I did wrong.

nincompoop · Answer

pi's must be treated as pi in themselves if you are asked to solve in "terms of pi"

nincompoop · Answer

that means that pi will remain constant
