Find the volume of the cylinder, in cubic centimeters. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
The cylinder Has a length of 5 cm, and a height of 3 cm.
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:
V = π * r^2 * h
Given that the length (l) of the cylinder is 5 cm and the height (h) is 3 cm, we need to find the radius (r) of the cylinder.
The length of a cylinder is twice the radius, therefore:
5 cm = 2r
r = 5 cm / 2
r = 2.5 cm
Now we can substitute the values into the volume formula:
V = 3.14 * (2.5 cm)^2 * 3 cm
V = 3.14 * 6.25 cm^2 * 3 cm
V = 3.14 * 18.75 cm^3
V = 58.725 cm^3
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 58.7 cm^3.
