A cylinder has a base radius of 8cm and a height of 7cm. What is its volume in cubic cm, to the nearest tenths place?
To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Given that the base radius (r) is 8cm and the height (h) is 7cm, we can plug these values into the formula:
V = π(8)^2(7)
V = π(64)(7)
V = 448π
Now, calculate the approximate value of π to be used in the calculation:
π is approximately equal to 3.14159.
V ≈ 448(3.14159)
V ≈ 1409.72992
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 1409.7 cubic cm to the nearest tenth.
