@Hero

Hero:

@Pixel do you remember the formula for Volume of A Cylinder?

Pixel:

Pi x r^2 x h

Pixel:

i did it myself and got 41872.15 but i don't think it's right

Hero:

Oh, okay, let me check that real quick.

Hero:

That's way off. How'd you get that?

Pixel:

22.25 x 2.20 / 2

Pixel:

then used my cylinder volume calculator and got it

Pixel:

fractions throw me off

Hero:

The height is 22 + 1/4, the diameter is (22 + 2/5) but we're supposed to half that to get the radius so r = (2 + 2/5)/2 = 1 + (2/5)/2 = 1+ 2/10 = 1 + 1/5

Hero:

So the volume of the cylinder is (3.14)(22.25)(1.2)^2

Pixel:

so its 1.20 x 22.25?

Pixel:

okay hold on

Pixel:

100.66

Hero:

cubic units

Pixel:

thats already added

Pixel:

in my "box"

Hero:

Coolio

Pixel:

i have another im not sure of

Pixel:

What is the volume of a right circular cylinder with a diameter of 46.25 cm and a height of 18.5 cm? Enter your answer in the box. Use 3.14 for pi and round only your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Pixel:

31080.29

Hero:

Why are your answers always so astronomically high?

Pixel:

I dont know x"D

Pixel:

im still getting 31080.29

Pixel:

@Shadow

Hero:

I don't think you need help with this as much as you need to double-check your math and make sure you're dividing fractions correctly. You should at least know that the radius is half the diameter. Once you get that, the rest is just plug and play.

Pixel:

i did that

Pixel:

46.25 / 2 = 23.125

Hero:

Show all of your work.

Pixel:

sorry computer froze had to restart it

Hero:

It's probably correct but you should learn how to use a handheld calculator to compute values.

Pixel:

i know how to use one, i'm out of town and i forgot to pack it

Hero:

Are you sure you chose "Volume of a RIGHT cylinder" when you computed that?

Pixel:

Hero:

Okay, that's probably it then.

Pixel:

so its 31080.29

Hero:

I haven't calculated it by hand yet, but I'm confident it is correct since you used Google's Right Cylinder Calculating Algorithm. Back in my day, we didn't have such technologies and had to compute everything by hand.
