Question

How do i find the volume of a cylinder?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is 226 in^3

Like you've already written it down, the formula of the volume of a cylinder is
$volume \: = \: base \: \times \: height$

Since the base of any cylinder is a circle, we can find the area of this circle with the formula
$a \: = \pi \: {r}^{2}$
With r representing the radius.

Therefore, the volume of any cylinder can be found with the formula
$v \: = \pi \: {r}^{2} \: h$
With h representing the height.

Filling in this formula gives us the following
$v \: = \pi \times {3}^{2} \times 8 = 226.08$
Hence, the volume of this cylinder is about 226 in ^ 3.
