A cylinder has a height of 5.3 cm and a diameter of 3.0 cm. What is its volume? (Hint: Volume of a cylinder = r2h )
25.0 cm3
66.2 cm3
149.9 cm3
37.5 cm3

The formula for volume is actually pir^2h.
OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
i know i just couldnt put pi
OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
but r is the radius so couldnt i just do the diameter
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
I see...Well the hardest/trickiest thing about this question is:
V = pi * r^2 * h...
Would it be:
V = pi * 3^2 * 5.3
or:
V = pi * 1.5^2 * 5.3?
Diameter is from one side of the circle to the other while radius is from one side to the middle (Half the diameter).
OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
right so the diameter =r^2

Mhmm
OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
so would have to square the diameter
OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
so it would be 149.9 right?
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
I don't think so...
OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
thats what i got

Did you do 1.5 x 2? or 1.5 x 1.5?
1.5 x 2 = 3
1.5 x 1.5 = 2.25
