Find the volume, in cubic inches, of a cylinder with a diameter of 16 inches and a height of 7 inches. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
To find the volume of a cylinder, you use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the cylinder (half the diameter) and h is the height.
First, find the radius:
Radius = 16 inches / 2 = 8 inches
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
V = 3.14 * (8 inches)^2 * 7 inches
V = 3.14 * 64 * 7
V = 3.14 * 448
V = 1407.52 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 1407.52 cubic inches.
