Find the volume, in cubic inches, of a cylinder with a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 5 inches. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
To find the volume of a cylinder, you use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height.
Given that the diameter is 6 inches, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 6 / 2 = 3 inches.
Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:
V = 3.14 * (3)^2 * 5
V = 3.14 * 9 * 5
V = 141.3 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 141.3 cubic inches.
