What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic m, with a height of 5m and a base diameter of 20m? Round to the nearest tenths place
Volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
V = πr^2h
Given:
- Height (h) = 5m
- Base diameter = 20m
- Radius (r) = Diameter / 2 = 20m / 2 = 10m
Plugging in the values:
V = π(10)^2(5)
V = π(100)(5)
V = 500π ≈ 1570.8 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 1570.8 cubic meters rounded to the nearest tenths place.
