What is the volume, in cubic in, of a cylinder with a height of 8in and a base radius of 2in, to the nearest tenths place?
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.
Plugging in the values:
r = 2in
h = 8in
V = π(2in)^2(8in)
V = π(4in^2)(8in)
V = 32πin^3
Approximating π to 3.14:
V ≈ 32(3.14)in^3
V ≈ 100.48in^3
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 100.48 cubic inches.
