To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
V = π * r^2 * h
Where V is the volume, π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius (which is half the diameter), and h is the height of the cylinder.
First, let's find the radius:
The diameter is 8 inches, so the radius is 8/2 = 4 inches.
Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:
V = 3.14 * 4^2 * 12
V = 3.14 * 16 * 12
V = 3.14 * 192
V = 602.88
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 602.88 cubic inches.
