Question

The radius of a 16 inch right circular cylinder is measured to be 4 inches, but with a possible error of ±0.05 inch. What is the resulting possible error in the volume of the cylinder? Include units in your answer.

Answer 1

for calculi the volume of cylinder use area of base time height of cylinder
so for area of base use radius squared - from this result that this possible error of +/- 0,005 inch will be squared same too so than how many will be the resulting possible error in the volume of cylinder ?
hope this will help you
