A right cylinder has a height of 12 inches and a diameter of 10 inches. What is its volume in terms of π?

Sagot :

Simple math.

Volume of a cylinder is equal to pi times radius squared times height.

or simply

V = π r2 h,

Since diameter is given, we need to find the radius first by dividing diameter by 2.

or

r = d/2

therefore

r is 5 inches

We can now compute for the volume.

Anyway, pi is merely equal to 3.14

So we have,

V = (3.14) (5)^2 (12)

= 3.14 * 25 * 12

= 3.14 * 300

therefore

Volume ≈ 942 in^3

Volume of the right cylinder is 942 in^3

I hope it helps
