Question

Find the volume of a cylinder that has a diameter of 12 yds and a height of 4 yds.

Answer 1

To find the volume of a cylinder using the following formula:

$V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h$

Replace for the given value, remember that the radius is half the diameter.

$\begin{gathered} V=\pi\cdot(\frac{12}{2})^2\cdot4 \\ V=\pi\cdot6^2\cdot4 \\ V=\pi\cdot36\cdot4 \\ V=452.39 \end{gathered}$

The volume of the cylinder is 452.39 cubic yards.
