Find the volume of a cylinder with a height of 12 inches and a diameter of 8 inches
To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:
Volume = π * r^2 * h
where π is approximately 3.14159, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Given that the diameter is 8 inches, the radius (r) is half of that, so r = 8/2 = 4 inches.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Volume = π * (4 inches)^2 * 12 inches
Volume = 3.14159 * 16 inches^2 * 12 inches
Volume = 602.88 inches^3
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 602.88 cubic inches.
