Question

Dali rolled up his painting and placed it in a cylinder 2 inches diameter. If the cylinder is 20 inches long find its volume. Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 63 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dali rolled up his painting and placed it in a cylinder 2 inches diameter.

Diameter of the painting is 2 inches. This also implies diameter of the cylinder is 2 inches.

Radius of the cylinder is 1 inch.

Length of the cylinder is 20 inches.

Volume of the cylinder is given by π × $r^{2}$ × h =  π × $1^{2}$ × 20 = 20π = 62.85 cubic inches ≈ 63 cubic inches.

Therefore the volume of the cylinder in which Dali placed his painting is given by 63 cubic inches.
