Oatmeal is packed in a cylindrical container
The diameter of the container is 13cm and its height is 24 cm. Determine in terms of TT (pi), the volume of the cylinder, in cubic centimeters
v=TTr^2h
v=TT6.5^2(24)
v=1014 TT(pi)
Is this correct?
Thanks for checking my work
Yes.

You're welcome.
Yes, your calculations are correct. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where V represents the volume, π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159, r is the radius of the cylinder, and h is the height of the cylinder.
To get the answer, you correctly substituted the given values into the formula: r = 13/2 = 6.5 cm and h = 24 cm.
Then you computed the volume: V = π(6.5^2)(24) = 1014π cubic centimeters.
Using the symbol TT in place of the Greek letter π is a common substitution, so your answer can also be expressed as 1014π cubic centimeters. Well done!
