WILL MEDAL! A cylinder has a radius of 10 cm and a height of 8 cm. What is the volume of the cylinder?
The volume of a cylinder is the area of its base (a circle) multiplied by its height.
the thing is i am not good with finding volumes with cylinders!
The area of a circle is\[\pi r ^{2}\]
yeah
Putting all the parts together, the volume of a cylinder is \[\pi r ^{2} \times h\]
ok so do 3.14x10x10x8?
Yep.
i actually did do that and the answer that we both got is different than the answer choices...
What are the choices?

Just don't multiply by pi, What's 10*10*8 The answer is in terms of pi. SO you put it as 10pi for example not 31.4...
oh!
so D?
Yep.
Thanks!
