What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic in, with a height of 11in and a base diameter of 4in? Round to the nearest tenths place
The radius of the cylinder's base is half of the diameter, so the radius is 4in / 2 = 2in.
Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, V = π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height:
V = π * 2^2 * 11
V = π * 4 * 11
V = 44π
Approximating π to 3.14, the volume is:
V ≈ 44 * 3.14
V ≈ 138.16 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 138.2 cubic inches.
