A cylinder has a diameter of 8 inches and the height of 3 inches. To find the volume, Eva wrote Volume of the cylinder = π × 8^2 × 3 = 3.14x64x3=602.88 cubic inches
Help Eva to correct her mistake
Eva made a mistake in calculating the radius of the cylinder. The diameter is given as 8 inches, so the radius would be half of that, which is 4 inches.
The correct formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is:
Volume of the cylinder = π × r^2 × h
Thus, the corrected calculation would be:
Volume of the cylinder = π × 4^2 × 3 = 3.14 × 16 × 3 = 150.72 cubic inches
