A cylinder has a base radius of 10 centimeters and a height of 3 centimeters. What is its volume in cubic centimeters, to the nearest tenths place?
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
V = πr^2h
where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values given:
V = π(10)^2(3)
V = π(100)(3)
V = 300π
Using 3.14 as the approximation for π:
V = 300(3.14)
V = 942 cubic centimeters
So, the volume of the cylinder is 942 cubic centimeters.
