A cylinder has diameter 34 m and height 27 m. A label at bottom states drawing not to scale.
Find the volume of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for
π
Help me please
To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:
Volume = π × r² × h
where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is its height.
In this problem, we are given the diameter, which is 34 m. Since the radius is half of that, we have:
r = 34 ÷ 2 = 17 m
Using 3.14 for π, the height (h) is 27 m. Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:
Volume = 3.14 × (17)² × 27
First, find the square of the radius:
(17)² = 289
Now, multiply everything together:
Volume = 3.14 × 289 × 27 ≈ 24580.98
So the volume of the cylinder is approximately 24,580.98 m³.
