how do you calculate the volume of a cylinder?
radius: 13cm
height: 11cm
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = Pi * r^2 * h

so would i do v= pi x 13^2 x 11
v= 3.14 x 169 x 11
v= 5837.26 cm^3
Right! :-)
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
Volume = π * r^2 * h
where:
- π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159
- r is the radius of the base of the cylinder
- h is the height of the cylinder
In this case, the radius (r) is 13 cm, and the height (h) is 11 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Volume = π * 13^2 * 11
To simplify, let's calculate 13^2 first, which is equal to 169. Now we have:
Volume = π * 169 * 11
The final step is to multiply 169 by 11, resulting in 1859. Finally, the volume of the cylinder is:
Volume = π * 1859 cm^3
Please note that when dealing with measurements, it's important to include the appropriate units. In this case, the volume would be expressed in cubic centimeters, indicated as cm^3.
