Determine the volume in cm 3 of the following cylinder with a diameter of 79 mm and a length of 188 mm to one decimal place Where pi 314 class=

Respuesta :

The volume of the cylinder is equal to the product of the height and the area of the base of the cylinder:

[tex]V=Bh[/tex]

Where

B is the area of the circular base

h is the height of the cylinder

To calculate the area of the circular base, you can apply the following formula:

[tex]B=\pi r^2[/tex]

Then you can calculate the volume as follows:

[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]

The diameter of the circular base is 7.9mm, the radius is half the diameter, then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{7.9}{2} \\ r=3.95\operatorname{mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

You have to calculate the volume in cubic centimeters, so you have to convert the units from millimeters to centimeters.

1 centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters, divide the radius by 10 to determine the equivalent value in centimeters:

[tex]\frac{3.95}{10}=0.395\operatorname{cm}[/tex]

The height of the cylinder is 18.8mm, to express this value in centimeters, you have to divide it by 10:

[tex]\frac{18.8}{10}=1.88\operatorname{cm}[/tex]

Once both dimensions are expressed in centimeters, you can calculate the volume of the cylinder:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2h \\ V=3.14\cdot(0.395)^2\cdot1.88 \\ V=3.14\cdot0.156025\cdot1.88 \\ V=0.92104678 \\ V\approx0.9\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder is equal to 0.9 cubic centimeters.
