Question
Find the volume, in cubic inches, of a cylinder with a diameter of 16 inches and a height of 7 inches. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
answer is not 1409.92
To find the volume of a cylinder, we can use the formula:
Volume = π * r^2 * h
Where:
- π is a mathematical constant approximate to 3.14159
- r is the radius of the cylinder (which is half of the diameter)
- h is the height of the cylinder
Given that the diameter is 16 inches, the radius is half of that:
r = 16 / 2 = 8 inches
Also, the height is given as 7 inches.
Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
Volume = π * 8^2 * 7 ≈ 3.14159 * 64 * 7 ≈ 1408.1476
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the volume is approximately 1408.15 cubic inches.
