Question

a mailing tube in the shape of cylinder has a height of 24 inches and a radius of 3 inches. what is the volume, in cubic inches, of the mailing tube?​

Answer 1

ANSWER

The volume of the mailing tube is 678.6 square inches to the nearest tenth.

EXPLANATION

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula;

$V=\pi \: {r}^{2} h$

Since the mailing tube is in the form of a cylinder, we use this formula to find its volume.

We substitute h=24 and r=3 to obtain,

$V=\pi \times {3}^{2} \times 24$

$V=216\pi {in}^{2}$

$V=678.6{in}^{2}$
