Question

A right circular cylinder has a base radius of 6 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the volume of this cylinder? A. B. C. D.

Answer 1

Answer: $432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}$ or $1356.48\text{cubic centimeters}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of right circular cylinder = $\pi r^2 h$

Given: Radius = 6 centimeters

Height = 12 centimeters

Then, the volume of this cylinder = $\pi (6)^2 \times (12)= 432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}$

Hence, the volume of this cylinder = $432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}$

At $\pi=3.14$

The volume of this cylinder$=432\times3.14=1356.48\text{cubic centimeters}$
