What is the approximate volume of the cylinder?

Use 3.14 as your approximation for π.

Answer 1

Answer: Approximately 3799 or 3800 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cylinder I imagine I'm first finding the area of one of the circular "bases" (top or bottom) using the formula: Area = pi x radius squared. Once you have the area of a base, imagine you "stack" as many of them on top of each other until you get to the given height (here, it's 10 in. tall).

So . . . pi (3.14) x 11 (radius)^2 (3.14 x 11 squared) = 3.14 x 121 = 379.94 x 10 in. tall = 3799.4 cubic inches (in^3)
