Question

A storage drum in the shape of a cylinder is 5 feet tall and has a diameter of 8 feet. What is the volume of the storage drum? Use 3.14 for es026-1.jpg and round the answer to the nearest tenth. Recall the formula es026-2.jpg.

Answer 1

Volume of drum = 3.14*r^2*h
                          =  3.14* 4^2 * 5   ( as r = 1/2*8 = 4 and h = 5)
                          =  251.2 ft^3
                  

Answer 2

The volume of the cylinder is 251.2 cubic feet.

What is the volume of a cylinder?

The volume of a cylinder is the product of the base area of the cylinder and it's height.

Given,  the diameter of the cylinder (D) = 8 feet

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder (r) = D / 2 = 8 / 2 feet = 4 feet.

The height of the cylinder (h) = 5 feet.

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder

= πr²h cubic units

= 3.14 × (4)² × 5 cubic feet

= 251.2 cubic feet
