The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is:
Volume=π×radius^2×height
Given:
Height of the cylinder = 14 inches
Base radius = 8 inches
Let's substitute these values into the formula:
Volume=π×(8 inches)^2×14 inches
Volume=π×64 inches^2×14 inches
Volume=902.4π cubic inches
Now, let's approximate this to the nearest tenth:
Volume≈902.4×3.14
Volume≈2839.6 cubic inches
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cylinder is approximately 2839.6 cubic inches.
