What is the volume of a horizontal cylinder whose radius is 2.6 yd,and length is 8.4 yds to the nearest tenth of a cubic yard using 3.14?
V = pi * r^2 * h
V = 3.14 * 2.6^2 * 8.4
V = 178.3 cubic yards
To find the volume of a horizontal cylinder, you can use the following formula:
Volume = π * radius^2 * length
Given that the radius is 2.6 yds and the length is 8.4 yds, we can substitute these values into the formula.
Volume = 3.14 * (2.6)^2 * 8.4
First, let's calculate the value inside the parenthesis: (2.6)^2 = 6.76
Now, we can substitute this value into the formula: Volume = 3.14 * 6.76 * 8.4
Next, we multiply 3.14 by 6.76: 3.14 * 6.76 = 21.2624
Finally, we multiply 21.2624 by 8.4: Volume = 21.2624 * 8.4 = 178.70816 cubic yards.
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a cubic yard, the volume is approximately 178.7 cubic yards.
