what is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic feet, with a height of 5 feet and a base diameter of 10 feet? Round to the nearest tenths place

Volume of cylinder

= π r² h

The volume of the cylinder would be approximately 392.5 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Just like the volume formulas for a cuboid, the formula for a cylinder is: Vol = (Circle Area)(Height). Since we already have the height value, let's move onto the circle area.

The formula for the area of a circle is: πr^2. The problem only gave us the value for the diameter (10), so to get the radius value, we just need to divide the diameter by 2, and we get a value of 5 ft as our radius. Next, we just need to square root it. So 5 x 5 = 25. Then, we multiply it by π. Because the problem is asking for an approximate answer, we can just assume that π is 3.14. And that gets us a value of 78.5 ft^2 for the area of the circle.

Finally, we just need to multiply the area and the height of the cylinder. So 78.5 x 5 is approx. 392.5 ft^3. Since we don't need to round to the nearest tenths place, we can just leave it alone.

Since I didn't use the exact value of π, the real answer may be a little off of what we got, but if you want to extra precise, you can go ahead and use the actual value of π.
