A cylinder has a diameter of 10 feet and is 2 feet tall. What is the volume of the cylinder? Use 3.14 for pi.
Responses:
628 cubic feet
157 cubic feet
78.5 cubic feet
50 cubic feet
The correct response is 78.5 cubic feet. To find the volume of a cylinder, you need to use the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Since the diameter is given as 10 feet, the radius (r) is half of that, which is 5 feet.
The height (h) is given as 2 feet.
Plugging these values into the formula:
V = 3.14 * 5^2 * 2
V = 3.14 * 25 * 2
V = 3.14 * 50
V ≈ 157
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 157 cubic feet.
