find the capacityof a cylidrical drinking flask whose radius is 3.42 cm height of 16.33?

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 3.42^2 * 16.33

V = 599.75 cubic centimeters

how do you get the pi=3.14

Most people use 3.14 for pi. It's a given.

To find the capacity of a cylindrical drinking flask, you need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr²h.

In the given question, the radius (r) of the cylindrical flask is given as 3.42 cm and the height (h) is given as 16.33 cm.

To find the capacity, substitute the values of radius and height into the formula:

V = π(3.42 cm)² (16.33 cm)
V = π(11.6964 cm²) (16.33 cm)
V ≈ 602.188 cm³ (rounded to three decimal places)

Therefore, the capacity of the cylindrical drinking flask is approximately 602.188 cm³.
